This month, we celebrated the 100th birthday of Sir David Attenborough! The children enjoyed learning all about his incredible life and work through a special project dedicated to him. They created fascinating animal fact files, explored the importance of caring for our planet, and even took on the challenge of drawing 100 animals to celebrate 100 years of Sir David Attenborough! It was a wonderful way to recognise and celebrate someone who has inspired generations to appreciate and protect the natural world.

The sun shone for our Outdoor Learning Day and it was a huge success! The whole school enjoyed a morning of outdoor activities, working together and exploring nature through hands-on learning. Activities included creating sculptures based on works by Andy Goldsworthy, paired reading, making seed bombs, creating mud paint and painting mini beasts, building bird nests while thinking carefully about materials and construction, and designing rafts for caterpillars. The children thoroughly enjoyed the experience and showed fantastic teamwork, perseverance, support for others and, most importantly, lots of joy throughout the day.

On Thursday, to celebrate Outdoor Classroom Day, Seals Class and Dolphins Class spent the afternoon at the beach. It was a wonderful opportunity for cross-phase collaborative learning, with the children enjoying a range of exciting outdoor activities together. They searched for beach treasures, discovered crabs and baby fish, painted pebbles, built sandcastles, made dams, and shared stories with one another. The afternoon was filled with creativity, teamwork, and exploration, helping the children to learn through play in the natural environment. #OutdoorClassroomDay #LoveLearning #CollaborativeLearning

There has been huge excitement in Seals class this week with our chicks starting to hatch! The children have loved watching the process as the small crack gradually gets bigger and the baby chick pushes its way out of the egg to join us. They have enjoyed observing the changes as the chicks' feathers dry out and they become cute, fluffy balls of fluff. The children have been checking on the chicks throughout the day in between their lessons to see if any more have hatched. It has been a wonderful learning experience and the children have been fascinated to watch the life cycle unfold before their eyes. #LoveLearning #reallearningexperiences #lifecycleinaction
