We gave Mrs Partis instructions to make food for the Bog Babies for our picnic next week.  We also had a go at writing the instructions on a whiteboard.  Then we put the food into pots to hang up for the Bog Babies.  

On Thursday we had a visit from PCSO Sam who talked to us about staying safe and showed us his police car.  We all  got to sit in the police car and turned the lights and even the siren on.

This afternoon we had our Mothers’ Day Service followed by tea and cakes for our families. We have enjoyed making flowers for our mothers this week and practising our handwriting to write our messages.

We have started to think about instruction writing and in maths we have been looking at number bonds to 10 and 20.     

We started the morning with a collective worship learning about St Patrick.  Then we have had lots of fun with our sponsored dance for the NSPCC.  Just look at our moves!   Don’t forget to bring sponsor money in on Monday.

We are making new habitats for our Bog Babies and decided we needed to make their homes special and safe.  The children were concerned about the Bog Babies after their stormy adventures and wanted to ensure that their homes were waterproof too. We investigated different materials for the roof and tested which let water through.

In in the end we found the plastic materials were best as they were waterproof.

We had a special assembly this morning from the NSPCC who talked to the children about keeping safe and speaking out about anything that is worrying them. They discussed Childline and launched the upcoming sponsored danceathon. Please have a look in book bags for the leaflet and sponsor form. These need to be back by Monday 20th March.

This evening lots of children came back to school in their pyjamas for bedtime stories, milk and biscuits.  What a lovely way to finish the day.  

    Today we stepped into Wonderland ! The children stepped through the little door and described the imaginary world of the queens garden. We did some excellent drama, writing and art about what might have been there.
