This week we have been talking about mini beasts and exploring our bug hotel to see if we have any new visitors. We are going to be making books about the creatures that are living inside the hotel. I am hoping that we don't have any visitors with long tails!!!
We have been focusing on the Hungry Caterpillar book. The children wanted to use story stones to retell the story. Unfortunately our stone supply is empty so we decided to cut and stick the story on wood. We have also been using story sacks which tell the story using props. These new ways of retelling stories has really inspired the children and they are all trying to write stories as a result of them.
 Also this week we have learnt about Shrove Tuesday and made pancakes which the children and staff enjoyed eating.
Thursday was World Book Day and the children all looked fantastic in their outfits. We shared stories and had fun talking about our favourite books. Mr Mills even got the children playing Quidditch from Harry Potter which he adapted and made a Quidditch hockey game.
We will be walking to the woods next week. If you can spare the time please come along.
 Red Nose Day will be celebrated on Friday. To raise the money for the charity the whole school will take part in 'Danceathon'. Each class will dance for a period of time, making sure our dancing does not stop from the beginning of our school day till the end. Children can come dressed in their own clothes on the day.

Have a good weekend
Mrs Robinson:)
