This week Harry showed us his gorgeous ferrets. We never knew they were so bendy! Thank you so much to Harry’s mum, we loved meeting them.
Our most recent four legged visitor was Betty’s dog, Dougie. He is just a puppy and was beautifully soft and fluffy and coped very well with so many children. Betty told us all about how she looks after him—thank you Betty and Mum for sharing Dougie with us!
The animals keep a coming to Classes 1 and 2 and we love it! Our most recent visitors have been Fin’s chickens, Tristan’s pony, Jack and Jess’s hamster, Rosie’s guinea pigs and Jack and Lily’s rabbit. We are always very excited to see different pets and learn all about them.
Classes 1 and 2 were joined by their peers from Kenton Primary for an inter-school morning of multi-sports activities. The weather stayed dry and spirits were high with children working in teams to tackle each event in the carousel.
Classes 1 and 2 visited Bickham Farm as part of their learning about food and where it comes from. Rod Hall kindly showed us all around his farm and told us about his horses, cows and calves and his chickens and bees.
KS1 are really enjoying learning about different pets and how to look after them. Tristan told us lots about his gorgeous pony and Fin was very confident answering questions about his chickens. Thank you to their parents for bringing them in!
