Y6 had some time outdoors today to look at adaption and why creatures need to do to so survive. They explored the field for 'worms' (yarn!) and we discussed how much each colour was able to camoflage and which blended in best. We then discussed how that animal could be able to hide from its pray in the wild.

Y4 Peridot had an amazing time at Darnall Library!

The librarian welcomed us warmly, explained what a library is and how it works, and even read a hilarious story all about a mischievous mushroom!

After that, we had the chance to explore the children’s section -discovering new books, cosy reading spaces and lots of exciting stories waiting to be opened.

A huge thank you to the team at Darnall Library for making our visit so special!

FS2 have taken part in the 'grow your own potatoes project' We were kindly sent some potatoes and have chitted them in preparation for today when we planted them! Ready to watch them grow and enjoy harvesting in June. We are also taking part in the 'beneath the soil' project, so we can see up close how potatoes grow and what changes occur under the soil. We will keep you up to date on our progress.

Lets get children growing!!!

We’re super excited to share that our Opal Play project is a hit with the children during lunch times! To make it even better, we’re reaching out for your help!

This week, we’re on the lookout for any pushchairs, toy prams, wheelchairs & scooters, that you might have tucked away and no longer use. If you have any of these items, we’d love to give them a new home in our play sessions!

And guess what? We’ve got some fun snapshots of the kids enjoying their lunchtime activities last week!

Thank you so much for your ongoing support! You make our community awesome!
