Digging up the vegetable beds!

In gardening club today we dug up the overgrown raised beds. We found a giant spring onion, some small onions and some very odd shaped carrots! While we were digging we found lots of worms, a red beetle chrysalis and a very friendly snail! We are going to relocate the vegetable plot and hopefully grow some more fruit, vegetables and herbs this year. The children all worked extremely hard. Well done everyone! 


Awards in Year 5!

Year 5 have worked really hard this week, despite having to vacate their classroom every morning for Year 6 to take their assessments!  They did this with the minimum of fuss and made sure our Year 6 children had the best possible start to their days.  For this they received a whole class merit!  Other merits were awarded for having an excellent approach to school and for being Ready Respectful and Safe.  Gold certificates and badges were given for achieving the amazing total of 200 star points!  Well done everyone!  Mrs Blomeley 


Can you guess the planet?

During our SATs morning breakfast we found a shape that looked like a planet. Can you guess it? Yes - it is Saturn in our rice crispies! Made all year 6 laugh.
