This afternoon, 1B popped on their waterproofs and went outside to engage in some water play. We blew bubbles, mixed, poured and tipped water. It was great to hear the children using vocabulary such as ‘full,’ ‘empty’ and ‘all gone’. Well done everyone.

As part of our outside learning day 3J went outside to watch the clouds and look for shapes we could see in them. Unfortunately the whole sky was covered in a giant one so we couldn’t see any individual shapes. We watched some on YouTube instead.  

We started our Outdoor Learning Day in the Hive this morning

5J have set up their free Hygiene Shop for our students at lunch. All the products have been donated through our local community groups and businesses. Students are excited to be running the stop shop over lunch. 
Well done 5J
