 To finish the year, the children made bow and arrows, boats, dens, whittled sticks for part of their role play and made swings . I loved this session- the children came up with wonderful ideas, thinking about all the things they'd done over the year.  Thank you all for making our Forest schools sessions so special, I can't wait for next year with you all!

 It was such a pleasure to see the outpouring of love for our Year 6s today as we held our Leavers Service in church. Thank you to the many members of our school community who were able to join us and to the children who chose to share their special memories about our fabulous 4. Listening to the beautifully written (and amusing) memories of our Year 6s was such a delight, reminiscing about their primary school journeys.  All 4 of them are truly wonderful and they will be missed greatly by us all at Taddington. We wish them all incredible journeys throughout secondary school.  Please come back and visit! A huge well done to all of our award-winners throughout school: Thank you to the year 5s for helping to lead the service and to all those many children who shared their memories. It was so lovely to hear about how loved our year 6s are. And finally, thank you again to all of our school community who were able to join us. 

 The school nurse visited today to talk to us about the importance of sleep. We watched Roman Kemp's sleep experiment to  investigate what happened when he didn’t sleep for 36 hours.  We were surprised about the dramatic effects of missing just one nights sleep. Sleep is very important:  To help your body repair  Fight off infection Helps you learn Keeps you healthy Helps you control your emotions   WOW! Sleep really is important!  We though about what makes us have good sleep and the importance of  having a good bedtime routine to wind down. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! We made ‘fortune tellers’ with facts we have learned about sleep. With our expert knowledge , hopefully we will sleep well tonight!
