This week saw the return of Governor Day. It was even more exciting for the children as the Chair and Vice Chair gave an assembly about the governing body role and how they help the school.
This week the children had a fantastic opportunity to take part in R.E workshops based around the Indian festival of colour, ‘Holi’. Kalpesh from K’z Dance Entertainment Ltd taught all the children some traditional Indian dances and discussed with them the meaning of the Holi festival. At the end of the day the whole school came together and performed the dances taught earlier in the day, the children and staff had some wonderful moves! At the end of the performance everyone took part in throwing colourful dyes at one another to celebrate Holi, just like it is carried out in India.
Today in our Forest School, we ‘experienced it’ by going on a bug hunt. We had great fun exploring in the garden and looking for minibeasts. We used magnifying glasses to look closely at all the different minibeasts and name them. We also talked about where they lived and what they looked like. Why don’t you ‘use it’ and have a look at home to see if you can find any minibeasts?
Last week we came into Nursery to find someone or something had left footprints on our floor. We looked at the clues and thought about what it could have been. It had big feet and sharp claws and it had brought leaves and branches through the nursery too. After some careful thought, we decided that it could have been a Gruffalo!
We have had lots of fun with our Gruffalo activities this week and last.
Some of the activities included;

Don’t forget it’s our Jubilee Coffee morning in the school hall at 9am tomorrow.
