We had a great day out in Goodleigh Woods to experience the wonders of the outdoors at the start of spring and to also enjoy some fairy creations in the woods.
We learnt all about the springtime flowers and trees that are blooming and sprouting and we also listened out for beautiful birdsong.   We enjoyed squelching and squishing along the muddy paths to reach the heart of the woods and search for fairy woven bracelets, which had been left for each of us.   We then made our own fairy dens using things found naturally in the woods.

​Kingfishers had a brilliant time at Combe Woods, Goodleigh

Swans loved their trip to the woods at Goodleigh this week. Building the houses in the fairy village took a lot of concentration but they were amazing. 

This term in PE we have been practising and developing our gymnastic skills with our specialist coach.   

We have also played tag rugby, come rain or come shine, indoor and out!!!   ​

As part of  World Book Day, Woodpeckers enjoyed a live interactive interview with Helen Stephens, the author of How to Hide a Lion.   In English, we have been using her book for our writing, creating our own stories of 'How to Hide' our own animal.  
Helen Stephens drew the lion and she read some of her stories to us.   We then worked with her 'live' on screen to draw her latest character - Peggy the Dog.
We also enjoyed dressing up as our favourite story characters.

​Kingfishers have enjoyed watching their grass grow in class. They decorated their pots on engage day, planted the seeds and watered them.
