School Allotment

Just a tiny bit of the produce that we grew two years ago on the allotment.

Every 2 years when we do the topic 'Growing' the children take charge of the school allotment in the summer term. We will be starting a regular trip up to the allotment every week on a Wednesday afternoon from 1:30 beginning on 30th March. We do PE on the field whilst Mrs Wallace takes small groups over the road to the allotment. Mrs

Hunt and Mrs Ulett have already offered their help and we are looking for more volunteers as we need two extra adults to accompany us each week. If you can spare anytime please return the slip that will be sent out tomorrow. A timetable will then be put into place so you know when it will be your turn.

Yesterday and today the year 1's began learning about 'fantasy stories'. They have been reading 'Under the Stairs' and have been coming up with ideas about what Sophie might find under the stairs including a mean bear, dragon and a talking kettle and tea cup!

FS2 are looking at the story 'So Much' and have been making their own books. Today they began learning the difference between their left and right. This is something that should be encouraged at home in their vocabulary to ensure their full understanding.

Yesterday the whole class watched an episode of 'The Animals of Farthing Wood'. We talked lots about how animal homes were being destroyed as woodlands are being cut down. We also talked about the reasons behind this and what would happen the animals.
