New start for the outdoor area
Between the heavy rain showers, Class 3 have worked hard to gather the last of the vegetables (mainly beans and tomatoes) and pick the many weeds from the beds so they are clear for Winter. Great teamwork children!
Trim trail treat
Since it is nearly the end of the year we had an extended break on the Trim Trail today!
Trim trail time!
Today Y2 and Y3 played together on the new trim trail. The children all agreed it was great exercise.
Lots of weeds!
Year 3 children dug some HUGE weeds from the beds today! There’s now much more room for the plants we want to spread and grow.

Planting 2025!
Today we had some help from some parent volunteers to organise our vegetable patches! We planted lots of seeds, amongst them tomato, lettuce, carrots and green beans, and we are hoping to see some of them grow before we break up for the Summer holidays! Thank you to our kind volunteers for…
Stilling in our lovely grounds
Today we did some 'noticing' outside. We reflected on what we were grateful for, what had stood out in our day, where we had been our best selves and any small changes we could make to balance our lives.
As we reflected, some greenflies and a caterpillar came to greet us. We felt very…
Andy Goldsworthy inspired artwork
We have started our Art unit on Sculptures today. We looked at the artist Andy Goldsworthy and how he uses materials found in nature to create his art pieces. We created our own pieces of art work in his style by exploring our school grounds.
