For this year's numbers day, we were asked to dress as someone that uses maths in their every day lives. We had jobs including construction, astronauts, casino croupiers, scientists and much more, (Including two budding young teachers!)
Our work was based around jelly beans and we had a scavenger…

Forest School was lovely and we managed to squeeze it in before the rain. We enjoyed making obstacle courses and made natural water pictures that we will turn into icy pictures. There was lots of fun in the hammock and our little pop up cafe.

We had a school kindness week. Our school vision is to 'love one another as I have loved you.' The children each had a kindness leaf and when an adult spotted them being kind they gained a stamp! Children were also spotted being kind at home and we shared these photos in worship!
Finally, we left…

A gorgeous afternoon outside … we weren’t ready to come in at the end of the day it was so lovely.…

This term we read and acted out the story of the gingerbread man. Then we made, baked and decorated our very own gingerbread people. Just like in the story, our gingerbread people disappeared, so we made traps to catch them. Luckily, they turned up in forest school later in the week!

This morning we completed our healthy living learning by making appealing fruit salads, can you spot palm trees and a beach? Or maybe a smiling banana!
