Hello everyone!
This week we have made our own fossils and also created our own volcano, which was exciting! We watched these two clips and have linked them here in case you would like to have a go at home yourselves! Salt dough fossils and Volcano!
On Wednesday, (Valentine's Day) it is wear something red day, to help raise funds for our PTA. The children can wear something red, along with their normal school uniform for a suggested donation of £1. They are also asked to bring in some coins to take part in the coin run. Each class will be laying their coins in a long line and the class with the longest line will win a prize! Again all monies will be going to the PTA.
Most excitingly, Friday will mark 100 days since we started school! Mrs Wood has said we can have a little party to celebrate - we are even getting a special cake! As it also our Wellbeing day, the children do not need to wear uniform, they can come in party clothes or comfy clothes (which ever they prefer). We just ask that they are able to do PE in whatever they are wearing.
