Our Ethos
Year 3 and Year 4 are currently away at @pgl.adventures and having a brilliant time!
Theyโve thrown themselves into a range of activities, from blindfolded orienteering, where teamwork and communication were key, to climbing challenges that saw the children supporting one and bravely facing great heights ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐
Itโs been wonderful to hear about the confidence, resilience and teamwork that theyโve shown and weโre so proud of them all โจ
We canโt wait to hear all about the rest of their adventures when the return tomorrow ๐

As part of their project โReady, steady, growโ our Pre Prep Nursery and Reception children enjoyed a fantastic trip to @bockettsfarm this week ๐ท ๐
The day was packed full of excitement, from feeding the animals and enjoying a tractor ride to cheering on the pig race ๐
๐ฑ They also visited the kitchen garden, learning more about where food comes from, before ending the day with a special treat playing in the farm playground
Such a memorable, hands on learning experience outside the classroom, thank you @bockettsfarm for such a brilliant day!

๐ฅ ๐ฅ Ready, steadyโฆ..grow
Our Pre Prep Nursery children are enjoying their new topic, ready, steady, grow and exploring where food comes from and discovering the world of vegetables.
Inspired by the story Oliverโs Vegetables, theyโve been chatting about their favourite vegetables and about trying new foods.
This week, the children became little chefs, peeling, chopping and cooking their very own delicious vegetable soup ๐งโ๐ณ ๐ฉโ๐ณ ๐ฅฃ
And theyโve also been busy in the mud kitchen, creating their own โsoupsโ through play!
Hands on learning, developing new skills and encouraging healthy eating ๐ฝ๏ธ
