Fruit kebabs were on the food technology menu this week.  The children chopped a variety of fruit and then carefully created their own fruit kebabs.  

The children in nursery enjoyed playing parachute games and relaxing in the hammock under the sunshine this week. They also searched for minibeasts and played imaginatively with one another. 

This week the children prepared their own healthy snack and made fruit kebabs. They practised their chopping skills whilst talking about the different colours, textures, shape and taste of fruits. 

We had a fun packed World Book Day.  This year we had a busy time learning a poem about farm animals to perform in a special assembly this morning.

Happy World Book Day!

Year 5 have been spotted outside with their heads enjoying a book.
