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.

Year 1 used their fine motor skills and followed instructions in our dough disco today.  The used dough to make lots of shapes, worms, thumb pots, snakes, spheres, pan-cakes...  We had lots of fun.

Year 1 have been looking for wild flowers in science.  We found lots.  Can you find any out and about?

Thank you to author Kita Mitchell for coming in to see years 5 and 6 today and talk about her Grandma Dangerous books. We loved it and lots of the children got signed copies.
