Hi Snape Super Stars & Everyone! We've been so busy with the school garden this growing season that I've got behind with posts on here! Just waiting to upload my photos and you'll soon have a wonderful gallery of all our fabulous advantures this term. The children have been having the best time sowing seeds, watching them grow and reaping the rewards of their hard work. We celebrated their brilliant gardening and all their hard work before half term with a hot chocolate celebration around the fire. The younger children were learning vocab and the meaning of the word ceremony, so they creat ..read more

'Everyone has been doing such a great job at school of getting the school garden beds ready for a new year of growing! Most exciting and important work! I'm so proud of them. Eagles and Kestrals have fulfilled and bettered their promise of digging over a bed per week and I think some of them could already get jobs as professional gardeners if they wanted! Lol! :-) It's incredible what they've achieved. With Covid we couldn't have volunteers, but the older kids are now so skilled at digging that they've managed it themselves, I'm puffing out my chest with pride! SO WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO GROW ..read more

Are you excited for world book day!? What are you dressing up as!? At forest school today, I've chosen the book Superworm and all the children in the school are going to create their own scenes from the book in the forest and garden using natural materials they can forage and find. You can have a go at home too!bWe might have some extra help from plasticine or pipe cleaners or anything useful you can find, but have a go! You can choose to do a scene from Superworm or pick your own story book to make a scene from outside in the garden. Have lots of fun! Send me pics and tell me what you've done ..read more

Hi Superstars! I cannot WAIT to see and hear all about your adventures outside in the snow! What a treat this magical powdery snow is that has arrived from the Arctic. I've got icicles hanging from my window and the forest is covered in a fairyland blanket of white, fluffy, soft,  marshmallow  cloud which makes it feel like another world entirely!
