Tomorrow, the children in room two will start to explore a new theme, the Café. The CAFÉ will be used as a way to integrate their learning in English (role plays and writing in the Café) Maths (spending money in the Café), Science (keeping beverages hot/cold), and Art (making Café utensils using clay) to name but a few.

Room 6 are very lucky to be taking part in Fit4Skool and it is great to see everyone has registered on the website. This will hopefully improve our health and fitness and encourage the boys and girls to try a wider range of healthy foods. Every week a different sports coach is selected from the class. Today an unexpected lunch room inspection took place by our sports coach. This meant that children were awarded 1 point for bringing in a healthy lunch. Fit4Skool also picks one healthy vegetable and fruit every fortnight, allowing each child to gain extra points this week if they bring in lettuce and an apple as part of their lunch....
