🌳🏕️ "Year 4 Hazel class took part in their first Forest School session this week. Although it rained for the entire two-hour session, that didn`t stop us from having lots of fun! The children enjoyed making mud soup, experimenting with mint leaves, playing team games, and learning how to say goodbye in different languages. It was a fantastic start to our Forest School adventures!" ~ Miss Marsh

😲🍅 "To kick-start our new literacy topic on character traits, the children walked into the classroom to discover this ketchup mess! What a shock! There were lots of suspicions about who could have carried out this naughty prank, and plenty of discussion as the children began exploring different character traits." ~ Miss Antonia

🏖️🍦 “As part of their History topic on Seaside Holidays in the Past, Year 2 Palm used different materials to create their own seaside scenes while exploring what holidays in the 1950s would have been like. The children also enjoyed watching their peers perform a wonderful ‘Punch and Judy’ puppet show before cooling off with some ice cream, just like people might have done at the seaside in the 1950s!” ~ Miss Oriola

🧲🔬 “Did you know that some magnets are stronger than others? Learners in Elder class were fully engaged in their Science lesson as they investigated the strength of different magnets. Which magnet is stronger, a bar magnet or a horseshoe magnet? We found out through hands-on exploration and investigation!” ~ Mrs Simmons

📚 Holmleigh’s Recommended Reads! This month, we have `Cat Kid Comic Club` by Dav Pilkey.
"I think you should read this book because the front cover looks so funny with the fish! It is a comic book so it makes it easier to read, and my favourite character is the fish!"
