Class 1 had the most amazing time visiting the farm animals at adventure valley today! We groomed a Shetland pony, had a ride on the tractor, held rabbits and guinea pigs and even stroked some ducklings that we hope to soon have in our classroom once we have incubated the eggs for 28 days!

To top off this wonderful trip, Adventure Valley offered to donate a Family Pass to our Summer Fayre Raffle due to how well behaved and respectful our children were! 🙂

****Yeyyyyyy!!!

The caterpillars have hatched from their Chrysalides and we now have 5 healthy butterflies to release into the grounds of Nettlesworth primary School! The children have worked extremely hard learning about how animals and plants change throughout their life cycles – it’s just a shame Miss Grant couldn’t work out the timing so we could all watch them fly! 🙂

Huge well done to Matthew from Class 1 who has received his first football trophy at the age of 4 for his fantastic development at his after school football club!

Keep up the fantastic work Matthew! 🙂

One of our youngest members of the school took her first Rainbow’s promise at her after school club last night! Evie was so excited to share her wonderful fairy door creation that marked her first promise, with the whole school in our celebration assembly!

Well done Evie, we are very proud of you! 🙂

During SATs the Year 6 completed a Relax Kids course with Maureen, to ensure that they were relaxed and ready.

On Tuesday the whole school had a relaxing day! Vicki from Kalma Kids came into school and worked with each class to gave us a taste of yoga. We all enjoyed learning how to breathe in order to relax and calm us down as well as so much more! Here is what Grace from class 2 had to say…

I learnt to balance. I liked the bit when we balanced on the balance beam. She taught us loads of things. It was fun. We pretended that we were lions. It is like the circus.

This afternoon Class 1 invited the whole school and their parents to our local Church to celebrate the Royal Wedding on Saturday, of Meghan Markle & Prince Harry. Millie and Matthew from class 1 asked their friends to join them for a mock wedding ceremony – it was great fun! After the Wedding we all came back to school and had a wonderful Wedding reception full of cake, juice and plenty of dancing. Thank you to all of class 1’s parents for joining us and coming back to school for the Wedding Breakfast in Class – We all enjoyed it very much! 🙂

We have been busy exploring and comparing the work of different artists.  Here are some examples of the work we have created ourselves:

….. Henri Matisse

….. L.S. Lowry

….. Mondrian

Well done to Lucas, who is saving towards a lego pirate ship. He is doing jobs at home, to earn money towards his goal of £100. He has only £25 left to go.
