Ducklings!

We have had a very exciting week this week. We had some eggs delivered to our school and when the eggs hatched out we had five beautiful, fluffy ducklings. The children had a chance to observe the eggs cracking and next week when the ducklings are stronger we are going to watch them swim in a paddling pool and handle them.
We have learned about what a life cycle is and we have learned more about the life-cycle of both a frog and a duck as we also have tadpoles in our classroom. We all made a frog life-cycle bracelet and we all made paintings of ducks and ducklings. Many of the children also wrote lovely books about ducks.We have made a lovely display in the classroom which we hope everyone will come and have a look at at open evening in July.
We have continued our learning in Maths on 3D shape and the children are getting much better at naming and describing them. Please do carry on practising at home.
Our Home Learning this week is to research a life-cycle, draw and label it.

Redbourn Primary School

Welcome back to a new term and a new school. We are now called Redbourn Primary School and we have a new Head Teacher called Mrs Hinchliffe.
The children have come back happy and eager to learn. They were excited to talk with their friends and teachers about what they did in the holidays and then they all wrote about it. We are very pleased with the quality of the writing that the children produced.
Mrs Hinchliffe came and read a story to the children and they all enjoyed getting to know her better.
On Friday afternoon we had the grand opening of the school. We had an MP who came and gave a speech and planted a tree and then the youngest and the oldest child in the school opened a ribbon to declare the school open. What a lovely event!
Our home learning this weekend is to send in a picture of your sporting hero and have a go at writing about them on the speech bubble.
