Covid-19 Information 31-03-20

Here is some information on social distancing (one for upper KS2 and secondary and the other for younger children). This has been created by colleagues at the Derbyshire Educational Psychology Service in conjunction with Public Health, to help children understand what the guidelines are . We have been asked to share these with parents and children via the school’s website or APP. Hope it’s helpful.

20 March – last day for a while!

Over the last couple of weeks, Kingfishers and Peregrines have been working in groups to design and make their own ‘Food, Glorious Food’ themed board games. Today they have enjoyed testing them out. Can you spot which real- life board games inspired them?

Woodpeckers have been using recycled CDs and the CD labelling machine to produce their own frog and butterfly life-cycles.

Living Eggs Project

The whole school have enjoyed watching the eggs hatch and the chicks emerge and grow.Woodpecker group have had great fun handling and looking after the chicks, including hunting for worms in the school grounds as a tasty treat. We were sad to say goodbye to the chicks but can happily report that the female chicks have been re-homed by Mrs Fox.
