The opal class blog with no pictures 🤔🤔

It has been amazing to continue our outdoor learning this week and the sunshine today made it all the better!

We have spent lots of time getting to know the environment around us in school and I would love to see what it looks like in the children’s minds. So, this weeks task is to draw a section of the school playground or field from memory.

5 team points are on the line for the most accurate drawings!

P.s remember to keep those plant diaries up dated during half term.

👩‍🍳Happy Retirement Mrs Gould!👩‍🍳

Today, the whole school saw each other together for the first time since Covid began with a socially distanced outdoor picnic! 🧺 It was all to celebrate a wonderful 22 years of Mrs Gould feeding us and looking after us as our school cook! Happy, smiling faces surrounded the playground-it felt wonderful to have us all in one place and to be able to give Mrs G the send off she so deserves 🤩🥳

Thank you for all the wonderful Chicken Korma, soup and toasties and cheeky cheesy pasta (as christened by Ollie!) 😂😂 Onyx class wish you a fantastic retirement- we will miss you dearly 😘
