The children had a fabulous time on their bear hunt this afternoon, they even managed to catch a big one! Shame it wasn’t quite the beautiful day we had originally planned for!



Thank you to the all the parents that came and joined us this morning to share a story with the children, it was a very successful first session and we look forward to you joining us again next week. The children all enjoyed having you join us and described it as a special time! Here are a few pictures to share with you

This weeks Golden Hedgehogs were awarded to Shyanna and Rory. Well done to you both!
We would like to wish everyone a happy and safe half term, we will see you on Monday 30th October to begin our new topic on Changes where we will start looking at day and night.
To end our mini topic on The Little Red Hen, the children made their own bread. They had great fun mixing and kneading the mixture and got quite messy in the process!!


Just a reminder that there is a Read Write Inc meeting on Tuesday 17th October at 2pm where you will have the opportunity to learn more about Read Write Inc and how the partnerships will support your child in their learning. The workshop will be run by a member of the Read Write Inc Team and Miss Common (Badgers teacher) and will build on the introductory sessions from the start of the school year.
Tea and coffee will be provided to those who attend. We look forward to seeing many of you there.
Congratulations to Eva, Archie, Lola, Harry, Isla, Jamie and Lilly from Squirrels and Elliott, Mason, Ronnie and Freya from Hedgehogs for achieving their Golden Squirrels and Hedgehogs this week!

Today we had a visit. Catherine from Tesco brought in some different fruits for us to try.
They tried, mango, pineapple, orange, avocado and passion fruit.
Both classes said the mango was their favourite.
Catherine also gave the children goodie bags, stickers and take home with them.
We really enjoyed our morning
Happy New Year to everyone and welcome back to Year 5.
