The children also spent some time researching information about gardening, growing, plants and trees by reading lots of non-fiction books. They did this in preparation for their new Science topic next term.

Pumpkin Class Plant Trees

Today Paul from NELC came to school to help us plant 4 new apple trees.

The project was launched by NELC to help increase the canopy cover across our borough, which is currently one of the lowest in the country.
Paul talked us through each step of planting a tree which links to our science topic of planting. We hope one day we can use the produce off these trees in our cooking club to help us towards being more sustainable. 

Chocolate Workshop

Year 4 had a special visitor this week who taught us lots about chocolate. We learned about its development throughout history and links to the Ancient Maya civilisation (that we have been learning about). We also learned about the conditions for growing cocoa pods within tropical rainforests and where the ingredients for chocolate are harvested. After this, we were taught some of the skills of what it takes to be a chocolate taster, with blind aroma tests, followed by tasting a variety of chocolates and identifying what ingredients they might include.

Community Beach Clean!

A big THANK YOU to everyone who attended our beach clean this morning. This was such a positive event with lots of amazing feedback about our work.

We can't wait to update you on our ECO award and our next steps.

Children Challenging Industry visit to Croda

Year 6 pupils had the most inspiring day visiting Croda on Tuesday. The Children challenging industry project Barley class have been taking part in, resulted in the pupils visiting the site where their product, Lenolin, is created. Pupils took part in different activities, from investigating which product is best for hand cream to how Croda's product works in beauty and household products.

People that Help us – the Police

We were so lucky to have a special visitor come to talk to us this afternoon – Inspector Harvey.

She showed us her special uniform and the equipment she carries.   She brought lots of uniform for us to try on. Some of it was so heavy.  We learnt about how Police help us.  We asked lots of sensible questions such as Why do Police officers have hats? Do you enjoy your job? What do you use a Baton for? …Even Had she captured Evil Pea? (He visited our class last week and did terrible crimes to our vegetables!

Inspector Harvey was kind enough to bring in us a helmet, a pencil and a sticker.  Lots of us want to work in the Police force when we are grown up

ECO Group - Pre-loved Sale

Our ECO group have recently discussed how we can recycle more in school. With us already having focused on recycling waste they decided to focus on pre-loved jumpers and cardigans. Today they put their plan into action at the Year 2 learning share. We hope to do this again at more upcoming events in school to promote recycling and sustainability.

Remember to bring 50p if you would like to purchase a pre-loved jumper or cardigan!
Well done ECO warriors!

Birdwatch

Buttercup class have been learning about British Birds this week. We went to the nature area to do some bird spotting as part of RSPB Big School Birdwatch. We completed the survey back in class. We saw wood pigeons, crows, a magpie and seagulls. We could hear other birds in the closeby bushes but they were hiding out of site. We did meet a couple of squirrels in the nature area which was very exciting.

Road Safety Talk

Today in Pumpkin class we were very lucky to have a Mrs Griffith come in to talk to us about road safety as part of our PSHE lesson. We discussed how we could make the village safer, how we can be safe when crossing roads, and riding a bike. 

"I didn't know we don't have zebra crossings in the village."
"I'm going to tell my sister to start wearing her helmet when she is riding her bike!"
"I think the village needs more help with road safety"

Christmas Hampers

Sausage Making

Pumpkin Class got the chance to work with Gavin making sausages. Gavin told us all about what goes into shop bought sausages, and how we can make healthier ones ourselves. The sausages that Gavin made he knew all the ingredients that went into making them, however sometimes you don't always know what is in shop bought sausages. We then got to try the sausages ourselves and they got a thumbs up!

"That's the best sausage I've ever tasted!"
"I love sausages with beans and mash!"
"I really liked the sausage Gavin made"

Year 1 Pizza Making

This week, Chartwells – our lunch providers – visited us to teach us about healthy eating. We learnt that we should have 5 pieces of fruit or veg every day. We thought about every fruit of vegetable that matches the colours in a rainbow and talked about which we liked best. Then came the best part! We learnt how to make our own pizzas and choose from a rainbow of toppings to make them look great and be healthy to eat. This was so much fun and we want to say a huge thank you to Chartwells for this amazing learning experience. Take a look at all our pizzas.

We are illustrators!

The Year 2 children have really enjoyed their visits to Laceby Library this term.

Mrs. Wink has inspired everyone to enjoy reading a wide range of books.

Mrs. Wink asked the children for lots of ideas for an adventure story that she wanted to write for them. The children thought of lots of weird and wonderful ideas, such as a castle with a forest and beach, animals and monsters enjoying a sports day with Pokemon spectators and unusual food being eaten like ladybird sandwiches. The children came up with  lots and lots of ideas.

Today, Mrs. Wink wowed them with her amazing story. She had included all of their ideas! The children loved listening to her read it and then were inspired to draw illustrations for her story. They decided on the title of the story: ‘The Wonderful Outside: The Best Summer Holiday Ever!’

Thank you so much Mrs. Wink. We have really enjoyed working with your this term!

The children enjoyed sharing their learning about the Easter story including pieces of artwork about the Last Supper, the garden of Gethsemane and the resurrection of Jesus.

Reverend Mark shared his thoughts on Lent linked with some Easter magic which amazed the children. After the service the children enjoyed a drink and a biscuit before returning to school. As ever, we would like to thank St Margaret's church for being a part of our school's community and we hope you enjoyed the Easter card and artwork that we left you. The children were amazing, their singing was inspiring and they were a real credit to the school. We are so proud of them.
