Learners Class found out the biggest pancake in the World had a diameter of 15 metres. We measured it in the playground and drew around the circumference with chalk. We needed some extra help to stretch all the way round it!

Friday 14th February 2020
It is our last day today, before we have a well-earned week off school, spending time with our families.
We have had an exciting start to our spring term: we have learned so much about the environment, and are now well on our way to changing the world.
We have six eco-bricks in our classroom, which we are adding to each day. We eventually hope to create something with them, and continue to create new ones which we can send abroad to help make houses.
We posted our letter today, which we have worked very hard to write. We know that our families are excited to see what we have been keeping a secret.
Congratulations to those children who have now been granted their pen licence, they continue to impress with their beautiful handwriting.
In English, we managed to squeeze in time to write a poem for our loved ones. We used many adjectives, similes and metaphors. We are bringing these home with us this afternoon.
Here we are holding them:
Reading Together. Such Happiness
Families joined the Pioneers for a lovely morning of reading and fun. It was so lovely to have the chance to share beautiful books.
Thank you to all our Happy Readers.
Clouds in the Classroom
After reading, “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs”, Mrs Hann collected up some clouds with a big spoon. She brought them in for the Pioneers to feel and to and to flatten.
The clouds went everywhere.
A Busy Half Term
What a busy half term Learners have had!
A visit from Sister Gilpin, a Chinese New Year celebration and much more besides.
Check out our photos below to see us in action:
£10 Fundraising Initiative
As part of our enterprise initiative in school, we were given £10 to make grow: developing new skills in creativity, problem solving, teamwork and leadership.
We had a great idea to host a clothes sale, tombola and cake stall, in order to raise money for the koalas, who have been affected by the bushfires in Australia. We also hoped to raise enough money to purchase some binoculars for the ‘bird watch’ challenge later this year.
We had a wonderful day preparing for the sale: creating posters and baking cakes.
We are delighted to say that we raised £400!
£10 Fundraising Initiative
As part of our enterprise initiative in school, Adventurers were given £10 to make grow, inspiring the children to develop new skills in creativity, problem solving, team work and leadership.
The children decided to hold a clothes sale, tombola and cake stall: recycling old clothes and unwanted gifts, which was linked to our present topic ‘Together, we can change the world’.
We had a wonderful day preparing for the sale and then greeting our families and selling the donated goods.
We were delighted to raise over £400.00, some of which will be donated to helping koalas injured in the bushfires in Australia, and some towards buying binoculars for our ‘bird watch’ challenge later this year.
Fascinated by Microbes
We began the week singing and writing about washing our hands. As part of this work,we looked at images from under a microscope. These images showed different bacteria and the children were fascinated. Many of the Pioneers have drawn and painted and talked about the shapes and the colours. The resulting images are impressive. We have a new book to continue this work next week.

Getting Sticky. Cool Badger Food
The addition of flour and water made the compost much stickier and the children experimented with the consistency. They were very restrained when helping themselves to their required ingredients. They helped each other and at one point I heard a little voice say,”We are a team.”
Look out for some fabulous writing done on Friday. This will be displayed in the classroom from Monday.
Cool Badger Food.
So many beautiful moments in learning.
Badger Snacks
The dry sandwich filling didn’t work so. we tried adding water. This was great fun but the filling was still a bit flaky. We really needed to add something else to hold it all together.
