Nursery’s hatching chicks
The Nursery children came into school this morning to the delight that during the night we had some chicks hatch. We now have three lovely fluffy chicks to look after in Nursery and hopefully more to hatch over the weekend. The other children in school and all the staff were really excited to meet…

Nursery’s chicks
Nursery have had some new additions this week. Our own chick eggs!!! We have been patiently waiting and singing to them all week and today we have seen the first signs of life. Watch this space! By tomorrow we will hopefully have some new baby chicks to look after.

Year One have had a great time today visiting Egremont library. We shared a couple of books together then chose books we thought we may like to read ourselves to take home.
Signs of Spring

Nursery’s Science Experiment

Congratulations to all the Reception children who earned a rainbow stripe for reading five times or more at home. Keep up the hard work!
Y4 Science Week
As part of science week year 4 made helicopters. They had fun finding out what happened when different numbers of paper clips were added. They discovered that the helicopters spun faster as more paper clips were added but actually took longer to reach the ground!
