Class 1 have loved having caterpillars in the classroom. We have seen them get fatter like the Hungry Caterpillar and spin cocoons. We even got to see one of the butterflies emerging from the cocoon. It has been fantastic to experience the children’s excitement as they checked on them every day and observed the changes. Yesterday we said goodbye as we set them free.
Yesterday we had a wonderful afternoon competing in the small schools sports day at the Meres. We ran, skipped, balanced and jumped towards the finish line. Never giving up – determined to give it our all.
Today, athletics club warmed up by jogging for 3 minutes. After they practiced throwing before starting races in different ways.
After lunch today we all enjoyed a delicious ice cream, that helped cool us down, before going out to play. A big thumbs up from all of us for the delicious treat!!
Their ideas for what to include, how to act and props that were needed were excellent. Special thanks to Joshua for all his suggestions (too many to mention!); to Stephen for making the prototype for the buckles as worn on the shoes of Captain Cook & the First Officers, and to Mrs Sellars for carrying out the role of Costume Fitter with ease and expertise! 
Today the children made coil pots with a difference. They used bowls as supports and coils circles of clay before joining them with slip.
