Children have been fortunate enough to have received a visit from Mary Anning this week. She delivered a workshop, which showed how she became a famous Palaeontologist (person who studied fossils). Children replicated her work by digging for the remains of some species. They asked very good questions and showed a superb understanding.
Year Two is full of super scientists! We have been looking at animals and humans this term and the children loved exploring photos of themselves as babies and toddlers and pictures of their parents as children. They played a matching game and discovered that parents look like their offspring. We have also been learning about…
This week, Reception designed their own fruit salad following on from reading the story of Handa’s Surprise. The children selected what fruits they would like in their fruit salad.

A lot of the animals we managed to see lived in South East Asia where there are rainforests and it is also…
Our scientists had a bit of a shock this afternoon when they opened up their amaryllis box, expecting to find a bulb inside. The bulb must have got bored of waiting to be planted and decided to have a go at growing all by itself, with no soil, water or proper light! We just hope…
The children in Nursery have had a very busy week learning about the important jobs of doctors and dentists. We have thought about our own experiences and thought about when we may need to visit a doctor or dentist. We have also been thinking about ways to keep ourselves healthy and look after our teeth.…
