Our Reception children have been learning all about 'minibeasts' and discovering fantastic facts about worms, bees, caterpillars, butterflies and spiders; including why worms are so important for our soil and how bees are wonderful pollinators.
Last week, the children in Reception enjoyed a very informative visit to the Tropical Butterfly House, handling and learning about even more minibeasts including a cockroach and an African Land Snail. Koalas, Polars and Pandas loved the beautiful butterflies, meerkats and porcupines and all the other animals they saw on the day. A big thank you to all the parent volunteers that supported the children on a very successful visit.

Anyone else wishing it was the weekend tomorrow? We think that there may be quite a few Y4 children (and a few staff too) feeling a bit like Harold by the morning!
Yesterday, Years 5 and 6 had the wonderful opportunity to meet real life author, Bec Manser. Bec shared her journey to becoming an author, and the inspiration and thought process when writing her book, Wildheart. Children were inspired to create their own characters and plot lines for a similar story. Plus, many have bought her book and have already started to read it.
