Everyone was exhausted by the time they got back to school! The pupils were excellent and repreented the school beautifully. Well done boys and girls!!

Room 1, 2, 3,and 4 go on a Bug Hunt
David, from Bug Life took the classes an adventure last week to find lots of bugs in our local area and raise the awareness of meadows for our invertebrates and other wildlife.
The children found snails, butterflies, beetles, worms, bees, spiders, earwigs, ants and caterpillars. They even saw bunny rabbits too! The children had a look at the bugs in the bug catchers then put them gently back in their home.
The children told David about our work on Mini Beasts and showed him our very own Bug Hotel in our school garden, he was very impressed!
Everyone had fabulous fun in the sun!
Preparing for the Fair
The boys and girls of Room 14 were busy last week making dough and them making moulds and decorating their creations to sell at the fair. Great team work!
