Cedar class will be doing forest school sessions each Friday until at least half term. Children should wear old, comfortable clothes and wellies or trainers for this along with waterproof trousers and coats.
Science Immersive Experiences:
In our first week of the Summer term, we have 2 very exciting workshops in school: Tuesday 18
th April an Animal Welfare workshop and Thursday 20
th April workshops provided by the Education Group. They will be wonderful, hands on events where the children will re-cap and consolidate their learning from last year when they covered the units: Living things and their Habitats and Animals including Humans. The Education Group's workshop will be a Virtual Reality experience where the children will be "shrunk" down in size with the use of VR headsets and experience life as either a mini beast in the garden, or be transported into the circulatory system of a human. What a way to start a new term!
