Infants School Tour
We had a great day out in Nore Valley Farm. Our tour guide Patricia was fantastic. She showed us around and told us lots of interesting facts about the animals. We got to feed some of the animals and we petted others. We got a chance to hold and stroke the gorgeous rabbits. We even learned about eggs from different animals and we now know what an ostrich egg feels and looks like. We got to jump in the hay and we had great fun trying to find our way through the maze. We finished off our day with fun galore in the playground. We were all very tired on the bus journey back to school!
Sports Day
A great day was had by all on Sports Day. We started off the day with a Treasure Hunt outside. Then we had the races – egg and spoon, sprint and sack race. We had been practicing beforehand so we were very good at the races! After that we had yoga and dance in our classroom. We love cosmic yoga, it’s very relaxing.
Busy few weeks in Infant Room
We have been very busy in the Infant Room over the last few weeks. We practiced for our Sports Day, we made flapjacks for our cake sale and lots of other yummy baked treats too. We had great fun on bike day for Active School Week. Check out our pictures below.
Teddy Bears’ Picnic
“If you go down to the woods today,
You’re sure of a big surprise,
If you go down to the woods today,
You better go in disguise
,For every bear that ever there was,
Will gather there for certain because ,
Today’s the day
The Teddy Bears have their picnic.”
