• Pebbles Awakes!

  Sun 26 Feb 2023

  Pebbles, the school tortoise, came out of hibernation today; he has been in the fridge for the past 22 weeks! He slowly warmed up and then a had a bath to re-hydrate. He enjoyed sitting under his basking lamp which will help him to warm right through and give him more energy. He isn't ready to eat yet but hopefully will start this in the next 2 or 3 days.

  The children were delighted to see him back in school and now look forward to taking him home at the weekends...some warmer weather would be appreciated!

  

• Author Visit - Mark Robertson

  Thu 23 Feb 2023

  The children were buzzing in school today with much talk about dragons! Author, Mark Robertson, came in to talk to the whole school and then gave a workshop to each class.

  The talk included information about how Mark gets his inspiration for his stories, the story-writing process and how to be a good illustator.

  The FS2 children enjoyed a story time then the other classes learned how to draw a dragon...such detailed pictures.

  At the end of the day, Mark signed books for the children...the queue went out the door!

  A great start to next week's book week.

  Work has progressed well this week. The beds have been positioned and the brickwork completed for the base of the greenhouse and the circular bed which will be the home of a special tree.

• Ruby's Garden

  Tue 14 Feb 2023

  Great news! Ruby's Garden is well under way. The ground has been cleared and a membrane has been laid to stop the nettles and bindweed from re-invading our veg plots. The next stage will involve the building of the raised beds and laying the brick work for the central focal point.
