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.
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.

At Eco Club we have been thinking about the importance of using water carefully and not wasting it. Some of us created posters to give some suggestions of how we can save water. We know that turning off the tap whilst we are washing our hands or brushing our teeth is an easy way to save water. Did you know…. that switching from handwashing to dishwashing can save 6000L of water a year? And… turning off the tap while you brush your teeth can save 6 litres of water per minute! WOW!
