Little Chicks dressed up for the re-opening of the library. The children were captivated by the story author Dan Worsley told us and as we walked back to class Dan commented on their excellent behaviour. Well done Little Chicks! we are very proud of you!

Over the last few weeks we have watched our caterpillars grow and form cacoons. On our return to school on Monday we found 4 beautiful butterflies.

This morning we had a visit from Hands on Animals. They brought in minibeasts and other animals for the children to look at, such as a giant snail, snake, stick insect and even a tarantula! The children had the opportunity to touch and even hold each creature. We learnt about where they live, what…

Our new topic of minibeast's has certainly captured the interest of a few children! This morning we went investigating the bugs that we could find in the garden. We found bees, woodlice, and a snail. We enjoyed letting the snail crawl on our hands, watching to see how it moved and learning about…

This morning we were lucky enough to have a visit from Blackpool transport, who came and brought one of their brand new double decker buses for us to learn about. We thought of lots of questions to ask Keith the driver and learnt lots about how the bus and the trams work, how much they cost and…
