Morning lovelies, just a quick note today to say happy half term, hope you are enjoying the sunshine and to mention one person who has a special day today. Today is one of our giraffes birthday- I wonder if you can guess who? This giraffe loves to farm and loves all things tractors. He is very close to his best friend and has been since they met at nursery. He is in Year 5 and is always super polite and helpful.  Have you guessed it yet?  Yes that's it- happy birthday Joshua! We all hope you have a truly fantastic sunny birthday and would love to see some photos of your day.  Miss B 

Feel Fantastic Friday Video Update

Morning giraffes! Hope you enjoyed the beautiful day we had yesterday. One of the things I have noticed during this lockdown is how much bird song there is. It's a lovely thing to hear instead of traffic and aeroplanes.  Well done to Maisie for coming second in a huge tournament on TT Rockstars yesterday, hope you are all practicing your world record attempts!  Looking forward to speaking to you all this week and don't  forget to send me your pictures for Feel Fantastic Friday.   Have a great day, Miss B

Good morning, it is VE Day today. Can anyone tell me what VE day is about?  I have seen some houses decorated up ready for the celebrations, if you have decorated your house I would love to see it.

Morning my lovelies, welcome to another beautiful day! When I spoke to you all this week a few of you said you missed Feel Fantastic Friday so I have had an idea. Send me pictures of yourself having a drink and treat or enjoying some music and I'll put them on here tomorrow and we can have a virtual Feel Fantastic Friday. Yesterday I got a fantastic set of pictures from Aidan and Dylan who had a very busy day of learning. Lots of spelling and word work going on and it certainly looked like fun. Well done boys!  TT rockstars at 10am as normal and I am looking forward to getting your pictures.  Have a fantastic day, Miss B

It has been lovely to speak to you all over the last few days. I am pleased you are all safe and well and have been having lots of fun at home.  Well done to your lovely mums and dads for making it so much fun to stay at home, you are never going to want to come back to school!  I will be phoning you all again next week to catch up but for now here is the picture I promised Maisie of Willow deciding I had been reading too long.  And one for you Freya of the puppy I was  telling you about earlier.  And for all of you because they are just so cute, a picture of some tiny ducklings I saw earlier. Have a lovely evening, Miss B

Pinch, punch first of the month!  Happy Friday my lovelies, hope everyone is ok. You were all very quiet yesterday, I didn’t hear from many of you. How are we getting on with our desert island survival kit?  Don’t forget, today as always, Madison Square Gardens at 10am on TT Rockstars.  Today’s Friday fun question is this- would you rather meet 100 horse sized cats or 100 cat sized horses?  Let me know your thoughts on that one, have a fantastic Friday, Miss B
