To give all the children a chance at preparing, baking and selling for Macmillan this year, we organised ourselves into 3 teams.  We found a naturally talented marketeer in our midst with a wonderfully pleading visage and a talent for wording home made stickers.  We ba...

We have to be considerate to the nursery next door, but the children really enjoy making music.  We put the bells away for the summer and this gives us a lovely opportunity when we get them out again to match them properly.  Some of the children are practising recorder...

Our garden has never looked so beautiful and as is nature's ways, it is the summer holidays.  We came back to class to it still looking beautiful after some really scorching weeks - with grateful thanks to the wonderful efforts of some of our volunteers and parents.  T...

To continue our work on The Kapok Tree, the class prepared and produced a puppet show, taking on the different characters and animals in it.  They shared their work with parents and siblings at the end of term 'fair' they also made.

We brought this idea back with us and used it to...

We are so proud of our pond and bird trough combo.  We just need to let the water de-chlorinate, then we can add some water snails.

As a follow-on from plant buying, a presentation was created by one child to explain the purpose of each of the 4 types of plants chosen.
