Special books and a VERY special birthday...

-
This week Miss Wones was very excited to share her favourite book.  It wasn't a story book, but an information book.  She had one when she was little and still has it now!  Wow!  It is an atlas.  We learnt that an atlas has lots of maps and we can learn more about different continents and countries.  

 After exploring an atlas with a friend, we looked closely at all the different countries that make up Africa.  We chose our favourite flag to draw or paint.




Today was a very special day as we celebrated a special birthday for Claire.  We created a beautiful card with Mrs Appleyard, we sang 'Happy Birthday' and James' mum and Miss Turner made delicious cakes which we thought were AMAZING!  Claire also got to do her favourite thing at school...forest school in the sunshine!  The children always have lots of different interests they want to follow - we had nettle bashing, flower fairies being made, tree identification, stew being made in the mud kitchen, den construction, spider spotting and relaxing in a hammock!

Places and People

This week we have been learning in different places including the Methodist Chapel to enjoy Shrove Tuesday with delicious pancakes, and in our forest school area we found our own 'sit spots' and enjoyed looking at and listening to the natural world. We have also been lucky enough to learn from different people including Rev. Deborah who came and took Collective Worship on Ash Wednesday to help us mark the start of lent.  Mrs Ward (Celene's Nanny) was really kind and brought some frogspawn in for us to observe and learn about.  We also enjoyed reading books to children in the pre-school and to one another to celebrate World Book Day 2019! Next week keep an eye on our blog for some more special visitors...

Owls

Today we had the BEST visitors...Happisburgh Owls came to see us AND we learnt so much!  We met a Barn Owl called Ghost, a Tawny Owl called Bracken, a Little Owl called Munchkin, an Eagle Owl called Shanti and a Northern White-Faced Owl called Trouble. Ask us about owls vision and hearing - we are experts!  We also know that owls favourite foods are mice, rats and especially voles.   Our best fact of the day was that when you hear Tawny Owls, it is the girl saying 'twit' and the boy answering 'twoo.'   What an AMAZING experience!

Village Show

Last weekend our sock creations, art work and efforts from our gardening club were all on display at Hickling Barn for the annual Village Show.  There were many '1st in Class' prizes gained as well as the gardening club wining the shiny, silver cup for best in show!  WOW!   This would not have been made possible without lots of help from people, especially Brenda who gives up so much of her time to run the gardening club and who passes on so much knowledge and enthusiasm for 'growing your own!'
