Dinosaur Detectives

 

Something strange was spotted in the school grounds this morning, so Class 1 went out to investigate.

We hunted for clues and found some strange footprints….

Eventually the children unearthed 2 unidentified eggs!

Back in class we listed all the animals we know that lay eggs, after much discussion and looking at the evidence we believe that a dinosaur has visited the school and laid the eggs!

This afternoon the children painted what type of dinosaur they think may have laid the egg.

Class 1, 2 and 3 Christmas Party

Dear Parents and Carers,

It is our Christmas party next Thursday afternoon (17th December). We would very much appreciate contributions of food for the party, there is a list on Class 2’s window for you to sign to say what you are bringing. If your child goes on the bus then please write in your child’s home-school link book what you will provide. You can bring the food in on the day itself or earlier if appropriate, just hand it to your child’s class teacher or send it in with your child if they go on the bus.

Please could you also ensure that on the day of your party your child brings in their party clothes to change into.

Many thanks for your continued support,

Miss Barratt, Miss Edwards, Mrs Conde & Mrs Bowes.

Nativity costumes

Just a reminder that all costumes need to be in school on Monday so we have chance to check them all and prepare for the Christmas rehearsals.

If anybody has any shepherd costumes (whether your child is a shepherd or not) we would greatly appreciate any contributions.

Thank you for your support

Have a lovely weekend 🙂

Miss Edwards

Can you see in the dark?

The children in Class 1 have been exploring how we see and have discovered that they can’t see in the dark.

The children could all see their Compare Bear’s colour really well when the lights were on.

When the lights were switched off they couldn’t see what colour their Compare Bear was, they couldn’t even see their hands!
