Hot school dinners

 We got our first ever hot meals at school today and nearly everyone seemed to enjoy them. The choices today were roast chicken, potatoes and veg; macaroni and cheese; meatballs and pasta; sausage, beans and cubed potatoes. The children ate with gusto and there was very little waste. Well done everyone. I hope you continue to enjoy the school meals. 






Spring walk

 It was a windy day today, but we put our coats on and went for a walk to look for signs of spring. We found buds, blossoms, daisies, dandelions, tulips and daffodils. We also observed crows flying to their nests with twigs and moss. We searched for lambs, but there were none out in the field today. Watch out for them in the fields beside our school and let us know if you see them so we can go back out.

                                                  Leaves are emerging from buds on the trees.

                                       Most of the daffodils have all died back, but we found one tulip!

                                                   We found daisies and dandelions

                                          There were blossoms growing on this tree



The butterflies have arrived!

 When we came back into school this morning, three of our butterflies had come out of their chrysalis. We gave them sugar water and oranges to eat and they are slowly getting used to their new lives. We will release them outside in a couple of days.

We had time on Thursday night to do "creative homework". Here are some of the things we created.

St Patrick’s Day


 We made jolly leprechauns for St Patricks Day art. And we dressed up in green for the day!


Making fruit salad



 We made fruit salad as part of our learning about procedural writing. Everyone tried something- apple, pear, orange, banana, mango or passion fruit. 



We met an ambulance driver


 Ms Smith’s dad Tommy and his work partner Mark came to school on Wednesday to tell us all about being an ambulance driver. They showed us the inside of the ambulance.
