Book Fair Week

An excellent assembly introduction, just before half term, gave a taste of the storylines behind a wonderful variety of books available during this week’s book fair. It’s really good to report plenty of interest and a high number of books purchased. It’s hard to over-estimate the value and pleasure which reading brings to us all, a miraculous exercise in brain activity and imaginative endeavour. So it’s really excellent that the children have been acquiring these books.

Forest School

On Tuesday, the Reception Class ventured forth to Shorne, the (new) location for their first Forest School visit. The chance to get out of the classroom and learn and play amidst trees and fields is always enjoyed, even though sometimes the weather can present a challenge – itself another aspect of education of course. Happily on Tuesday, temperatures were benign and a fine morning was had by the class, with much achieved.

Build A Bear Visit

The children's behaviour was exemplary and the chose a bear with a Batman costume, which they will take turns to bring home each weekend and complete a diary of the bears adventures. There will be a name chosen (democratically) in class before the bear is allowed to come home!
