As part of our learning during gardening week, we decided to investigate what was in bird seed.
Each group was given a hand full of bird seed to investigate and create a tally of the ingredients found in their bird seed
Once our tallys were finished we planted some of the seeds we found to see what (if anything) would grow.
Topaz class were determined to finish tidying up the front of school today. With great enthusiasm and hard work, they armed themselves with spades, forks, gloves, buckets and got stuck in. I think you’ll agree they’ve done a FANTASTIC job !!
This afternoon the children had a wonderful time creating feeders for the local birds! 🪵🪶🦉
As part of National Gardening Week, the children designed their ideal fruit and vegetable patches. There were such a range of wonderful fruit and vegetables across their designs! Take a look below!

Did you know that there are around 300,000 different types of fruits and vegetables grown across the world! 😲
It has been worth waiting for!
Dandelion Poems
Keeping in the theme of gardening, Topaz class have written exceptionally creative poems today about dandelion seed heads. You will never look at them the same again.
Well the weather didn’t shine for us today at Forest School! Nevertheless, the children had a fantastic time building shelters, toasting marshmallows and enjoying each others company in the fresh air. 🔥☔️🌳
Unfortunately, today’s sessions marks the end of Forest School for Emerald Class for this year. The children have had a wonderful time over the last few weeks and a huge ‘thank you’ goes to Mrs Ashley for sharing the woodland area and teaching the class so many wonderful skills. The children are already looking forward to their next visit in the future! 🌳⭐️
Yesterday we reached the most anticipated date on the sporting calendar. Sound and District Sports Day.
The sun was shining (at first), the crowd was full of energy and the athletes were ready and raring to go.
Each athlete competed in a sprint, the egg and spoon race, the hurdles and then a team relay. The athletes battled through adverse weather conditions throughout the day but all emerged as champions in the end.
Congratulations everybody.
Who is in the photo? Can you remember his name? 😀 🐈
How old is he?
Who is his owner (best friend!) ?
Secretly come and tell Miss Poppleton to earn 10 team points!!
Cross you fingers and toes that out lovely little bean plants grow well! We have been learning about what plants need to grow and survive. We have started an investigation into how bean plants grow and which conditions allow them to grow best. We have set up a bean plant to grow with sun and no water, water and no sun, and sun and water! Which do you think will grow best and why? 😀 🌱 🪴
