Children came together in their houses on Thursday afternoon to enjoy being a part of Natuonal Storytelling Week. They were asked to bring in a favourite book to share from home or choose a story they had written from their English book. It was nice to see a range of stories looked at and also to see such amazing writing being produced by the children themselves.
Earlier in the day Mrs Hurley shared a story from New Zealand and also a song called 'Wonky Donkey' - this story was made famous when a Scottish grandmother read this to her grandchild and it was hilarious!

To top off our busy week we have a visit from Zoolab, where the children had the opportunity to explore Rainforest creatures and look more in depth at the habitat.

Pupils have been enjoying the practical aspects of science over the past week during our topic on materials and their properties.  

Not long now until our visit from Zoolab (Fri 1st February)!  Any outstanding permission slips and payments to the office please before the day.  Thank you.
