  • Reception Trip to "All Things Wild"

    Fri 05 Feb 2016

    On Tuesday 2 February Reception visited "All Things Wild" to support their dinosaur topic.  They experienced a reptile encounter during which they had the opportunity to stroke and hold a corn snake, a bearded dragon, a millipede and a chameleon!  They also encountered some life-size dinosaurs and learnt some interesting dinosaur facts, for example we found out that an Apatosaurus ate stones to help with their digestion and a Pteranadon

    was a carnivore (meat eater) but didn't have any teeth.

     

    The children had a fantastic time - have a look at our curriculum page to see some photographs from the day

  • Y1 Visit Warwick Castle

    Thu 04 Feb 2016
    Yesterday our Year 1 class enjoyed a trip to Warwick Castle as part of their topic work this term.  The children visited the Great Hall where they were able to look at costumes and armour; they also painted shields and listened to a story about a princess who lived in a castle.  Another highlight of the trip for the children was watching the falconry display while having lunch.  Thank you to all our parents who helped us on this trip.
