Meet the Penguins ~ Class 2

On Friday the children in Class 2 walked down to the Harewood Bird Garden for a "Meet the Penguins" workshop. We were blessed with glorious weather so, as we were early, we stopped for a play near the big tree.

These children were making sawdust...

and these children were making a penguin family out of sticks!

Next we went down to the courtyard and were introduced to Eileen, our guide for the morning. She told us lots of interesting information about the Humbolt Penguins.

We all listened very carefully and  had a chance to ask questions. 

We were lucky enough to see the penguins being fed. 

They must have been very hungry because they seemed to have a lot to eat..

and we had a good view of them through the glass. 

Some children got wet as the penguins splashed water over the top. 

Then we went inside to do a craft activity.

We all made a penguin hat.

They looked great when they were finished.

We all waddled like penguins back to school wearing our hats.

Well done Class 2, your behaviour was brilliant and it was a great to round off our topic. 

World Book Day 2018!

 We had such a fun World Book Day (reshedued after some crazy weather!) today. Here are a few photos of some of the children in their costumes - I wonder how many you can identify.....?

I'm sure you'll all agree the costumes looked absolutely great! Apologies there aren't more photos (especially of Class 3) but I only had a few moments spare at breaktime and in assembly (and Class 3 weren't outside at the same time as us and also didn't make it to assembly due to a skipping activity!) but I would like to thank all the parents who made such a tremendous effort to help support this event and make it a real success! Hopefully this blog post gives you a flavour of the day - keep reading those books and being inspired!
