A host of golden daffodils

School House children went back to visit Jesus Green to see the difference they had made in the park when they planted  daffodils in the Autumn. When they go there, what a sight met their eyes!

As William Wordsworth said:

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Fahim, Jordan and Sabarena took these fabulous photos of their daffodils while they were there.

Bulbs

School House children went to Jesus Green to meet with some people from the council. The year 5 children in the group had been learning about their local area with their classes. They had been using ICT and Literacy to gather information about the litter in the area before making films to evaluate what they found out. 
In Jesus Green they learned about another way to improve the area. They were shown how to plant bulbs. The bulbs will develop into plants called daffodils.

Sharing a Shell

Children and teachers in the EYU have been reading "Sharing a Shell" by Julia Donaldson. They have been thinking about the kind of creatures that live in water. 

Reception children looked at  fish  and water creatures in class and then the "experts"  visited a fish shop to look at  fish in tanks. 

Now the Reception children have made some suggestions about the kind of fish that could live in our new school pond! Some children in the School House are going to research further  to find out if it is the right habitat for those fish.
