Reception Super Little Scientists, by Mrs Wheatcroft
Date: 20th Oct 2022 @ 12:20pm
The children loved the bubble workshop today. We discovered bubbles won't change shape or colour, no matter if we use triangular bubble wands or coloured bubble mix. We found out that they don't pop when the surface is wet and we all had a turn to be in a giant bubble! Thank you very much to the PTA for funding such an exciting workshop.

World Book Day with Buddies, by Miss Young
Date: 3rd Mar 2022 @ 2:12pm
Year 6 shared their favourite books, along with recommended reads to encourage one another to pick up a book that they'd not explored before.
We also selected an eBook from the WBD website- https://www.worldbookday.com/world-of-stories/, having read the blurbs and decided which one appealed to us. Robin Hood: Hacking, Heists and Flaming Arrorws proved the most popular.
After lunch we visited our Reception buddies and shared our favourite books with them, before reading their favourite book aloud to them.
