Just a reminder that on Wednesday 23rd May, 2012 individual and family photographs will be taken at school across the day.  Reception classes and our year 6 class will also have class photographs taken.

Your child will bring home a proof of the photographs for you to decide if you wish to purchase them.

Our Nursery children, along with Miss Donkin and Mrs Anderson, have been very busy looking after our newly hatched chicks.  Today the children helped to clean out the brooder box and put fresh food and water in for them:

Our Friday morning Toddler group had some suprise visitors today. The newly hatched chicks came out of Nursery to visit and some of our toddlers and parents even held the chicks when they came out of their brooder box.  The chicks are thriving and our children are loving seeing them every day:

Following on from yesterday`s update we are pleased to announce that the two chicks which hatched on Wednesday were named Thomas and Dora by our afternoon children, who were lucky enough to see them hatch. 

A further two eggs hatched today resulting in another two female chicks, these were named Sunny and Daisy by our morning children.  Some of the chicks which hatched first are now strong enough and have been moved into their brooder box.  We hope you enjoy looking at the photographs:

Another two eggs have successfully hatched today, resulting in another one of each, we now have two males and four females.  We will let you know the names of our two new chicks tomorrow, with further photographs too!

We are delighted that four of the ten living eggs have hatched during the early hours of this morning.  The first, a male called Pippin, was quickly followed by three females, named, Darcie, April and Betsy. We will keep you updated with their progress.  Here are some photos of our new arrivals :

Attached is a letter regarding reading together with a questionnaire which has been sent home with children tonight.  We would be grateful if completed questionnaires are returned by Thursday 9th February 2012.  Thank you.

Our children have recently been learning to sign this years "sign to sing" world record breaking attempt song, which is called "Sign 2 Sing."

Last year the children learnt how to sign the song "I'd like to teach the world to sing."  With the help of many other schools we broke the world record for the most people singing and signing at the same time.

This year we are trying to break our own world record on Wednesday 8^th February, when the children will perform" Sign to Sing."

During the event we will be raising money for Deaf Awareness.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended Parents Evenings on Monday and Tuesday this week.  As always, the event was very well supported with lots of positive feedback.  Here are just some of the comments left by our parents and carers:

"It`s great to get a "one to one" chat with the teachers in this way.  No real way to improve but keep up the Open Evenings."

"I found Parents Evening very reassuring, it was nice to hear how well my son had settled into nursery and I now have peace of mind that he`s doing well."

"Many thanks to the teachers for their time.  Very informative and enjoyable.  Nice to see the children`s work."

Year 2 recently visited Wallington Gardens, near Morpeth linking with their topic this term which is Global Gardens.  Whilst there the children helped the gardener to design a vegetable plot, this involved using a trundle wheel to measure the area.   The children then thought carefully about which vegetables they would plant and drew plans.

Groups then went into the hothouse and planted some vegetable seeds. These were brought back to school where the children to continue to look after them.  They also looked carefully at the plants and flowers in the hothouse and used pastels to draw their favourites.

Another activity was an eye-spy hunt around the gardens and everyone found out lots of interesting facts.  Did you know there is an underground stream at Wallington?  A brilliant day was had by all!  Thank you to all the parents and volunteers who gave up their time to support this visit.

Toddler Group continues to run every Friday morning between 9am and 10:30am.  Come along and join us for lots of fun as well as various activities, including: painting, playdough, singing, story telling sessions and much more.  We offer a range of healthy snacks for the children and coffee and biscuits for the grown ups!  Everyone welcome!
