A HUGE thank you to the PTA for organising our really successful Easter Egg raffle.  We have never seen so many eggs!  Thank you to everyone who contributed and to all those who bought a ticket.  Happy Easter!

We have had the most amazing Discovery Week on the theme of Pirates.  All our curriculum work was linked to the theme and we had great fun problem solving, designing and making, using our artistic skills, making music and writing on this great theme.  We were also visited by a real pirate - Pirate Pete!  He said he had never seen anything quite like it.  Have a look at the things we have been doing here and sing along with the movies!
