Year 1 have been having fun planning for their writing outside.

A break from all the hard work, we danced to the macarena for a while.  

While I am still waiting for my letter from Hogwarts, there is still chance for the children in Year 5. They have now had some Quidditch training.....just in case!  

We learnt how to play KIdditch this morning. We learnt all about bludgers and golden snitches. We played as seekers, chasers and in goal.

Year 1 had lots of fun learning to play quidditch today.  We had to pretend we were flying and score goals.  We really did feel like we were a school of 'Witchcraft and wizardry.' 

We spent time today with staff from The Wordsworth Trust, putting together our arts award and reflecting on our drama day yesterday 

We have started rehearsals. Thank you to Marion and Bernadette from Blackwell for a brilliant instruction in our play.

We have had the most gorgeous day at Swarthmoor Hall. We explored the grounds, then the woods, braved the cows and had a tour of the hall. The children were fantastic and were praised by the people who looked after us at the Hall.  

We made a new recipe for slime this week. Lots more mess and fun.  

We were inspired by Michelangelo to draw upside down. Lots of us drew turtles (wrong Michaelangelo!)

Year 1 have been planting sunflower seeds in science.  We have been talking about what a seed needs to grow into a flower.  We have planted the seeds so that we can keep a diary about what happens.
