We had fun going around the school grounds finding different fruit that has grown and ripened over the holidays. We enjoyed eating apples from the tree, and tomatoes from the vines.

In science we have been learning about different types of animals. The children enjoyed making hedgehog houses, learning how bees find nectar, making seed bombs and bird spotting in the hide.
This group of Year 5s has begun to ready our allotment area at school. We have turned over the soil and prepared many pots for seeds to grow. We’re hoping to plant vegetables very soon since springtime is now upon us.
The year 5 children were very helpful in rehoming a few of our more established saplings that we planted in raised beds last year. We positioned them on the far end of our field, where we hope they will grow into larger trees alongside the others nearby.
We had fun in forest school making dens. We worked together as a team and added leaves and sticks to make them even better!
We had fun toasting marshmallows and eating s’mores. Yum!
