Today, Key Stage 2 have set up an ant farm in their playhouse. They have been busy trying to entice ants into their traps so they can place a small colony into their equipment. Should we have success, we will post pictures of the ant tunnels later in the term.
We’ve joined the Daily Mile movement!
All of the Dudley House School family are participating in the Daily Mile initiative, as advertised recently on ITV. Every day, children and staff will run or walk for 15 minutes. Our aim is to increase fitness levels, improve levels of concentration and also to nurture a healthy lifestyle.
As you can see from the photographs, there are lots of smiles, so it appears that everyone is enjoying themselves too!

Children who attended the Picture Book after school club wrote and illustrated their own picture story book which they read out during assembly. The other children were impressed with the super stories that had been written and the wonderful illustrations they had drawn, painted and used other media to create. Children were presented with copies of their book, as the original books have been sent off to The Reading Zone for a World Book Day competition.

Today, a group of children went to Grantham Museum to put together their final display for the ‘Kids Take Over the Museum’ project. We were the first school to create a finished product.

Children in class 2 had a fascinating time at the Museum of Lincolnshire Life today finding out about transport in the past and conducting investigations about how things move. Whilst at the museum, they also enjoyed finding out what shops and houses used to be like and the children were full of questions.
