Children in Reception have been working with Sheffield Hallam University on a project called Climate Scientists. We have worked with two students from the University who have been supporting us with our project. We have spent the last half term learning about the animals that might visit our school grounds and make fact files. We have named an area of our school grounds 'Wildlife Wonderland'. Mrs Hardy joined us for an official opening during the last week of half term where she cut a ribbon and we all cheered. We put out some food that we discovered the animals might like to eat and set up night vision cameras. We had so many visitors including foxes, birds, cats and even a badger!! We are very proud of our new Wildlife Wonderland!
We are pleased to introduce you to our very own lion cub, ready to be decorated by our children (with help from Mrs Chester) and become part of the Sheffield Childrens' Hospital Pride of Yorkshire Appeal. Look out for the next round of fundraising events coming soon as well as more pictures to show how we intend to "link" the cub to our school. Thanks to Mrs Hoole in particular for leading this project.

A fantastic visit to Weston Park museum to view the "wonderful things" that they have in their Egyptian collections. All the children also had the chance to participate in workshops to make an item to go in a pyramid tomb as well as looking at the process of mumification. They spent some time debating the BIG question as to whether it is right to display objects from Egypt in a British museum. Thank you to the the parents who helped out on this trip.
