We’ve all had such a wonderful afternoon playing with, feeding and cuddling lambs! Anya’s daddy very kindly brought two of their lambs in to visit us and told us all about how they care for the sheep, lambs and particularly the orphaned lambs on their farm. The children were able to have a go at bottle feeding the lambs and gave them lots of cuddles. Afterwards, we spoke about the importance of handwashing after touching animals. We are so lucky to have this opportunity and it’s lovely to find out more about our local community.

On Tuesday we welcomed cricket coaches into school who gave Tiger Class a cricket lesson. We practised important skills such as throwing a ball at a target, accurate catching, keeping our eyes on the ball and how to hold a cricket bat correctly. A lovely way to spend a sunny afternoon!

The children had so many lovely activities linked to the Great Fire of London in our museum trip today. Some of the children dressed up to help discuss the timeline of events surrounding the fire – I was so impressed with how much information the children had remembered from our history lessons! They then completed activities based around different jobs from the time as well as studying different artefacts. The children were all so well behaved and joined in beautifully. 🐯

During forest school we used the outdoors to practise our number skills. Children built numbers using sticks and flowers to represent tens and ones. We also used rubbings to look closely at the patterns on the bark of trees and the different shapes of leaves.
