An unexpected visit from a Lazy Farmer, left the children in Year 1 a little bemused as to why he would be eating chocolates and falling asleep – just like the character they have been reading about.

They quickly took the opportunity to give him some very good advice on working hard and eating a more healthy diet.

He took some convincing to eat a pear! They told me that he would definitely try to do better in future.

A fantastic visit enjoyed by all the pupils and good memories stored.

A M Christian came in to school to read to our younger pupils.

Written in alliterative  verse, this beautifully illustrated book takes us on a journey through the alphabet and a zoo in the company of Professor Brocolli.

The children were introduced to lots of interesting and colourful characters.

All the children and as many staff as possible, took to the field for a 15 minute walk to start the day. This was the first day of our wellbeing week and it looks like they all enjoyed the fresh air, sunshine and chat! Lets hope the weather stays nice for the rest of the week.

Year 4 went to Poole’s Cavern in Derbyshire last week. They explored the caverns which were dramatically lit and amazing.

Once out of the caverns they then walked up to Solomon’s Tower

Year two enjoyed their visit to the Gurdwara in Coventry. We were met by Mr Dhaliwal who took us all round the building. The children were able to hear all about the Sikh religion, see the prayer hall with the holy book and the Langar where warm food is available daily. All the children were given a bag of crisps and a drink – the offering of food is very much a part of the Sikh religion.

Langar is the term used in Sikhism for the community kitchen in a Gurdwara where a free meal is served to all the visitors.  Everything we saw was interesting and very beautiful.

Thank you again to parents who came in for the Art afternoon.

Year 5 children began painting their moonscapes.

Parents were a great help and the children were happy to let them work hard on their sculptures (I think they worked harder than the children!).

Each class has an art week during the Spring Term when they focus on studying a particular artist and art technique. Parents are invited to come in and support their child during their art afternoon. The children thoroughly enjoy experimenting and learning about art and artists and would love to share this with their family.

Thank you to Year 6 parents who came and supported children last Thursday during their art lesson. Staff, children and parents spent a lovely afternoon sketching dancers in the style of Degas. A lot of talented parents and children. Thank you all for your support.

Those that came suitably kitted up were allowed out onto the field to enjoy the snow.

Hopefully it will last another day or two!
