They explored the Rainforest House and looked at plants that commonly grow and produce things like sugar cane, cocoa, cotton, rubber. They also took part in a guided sketching session in the Arid House (desert plants), Carnivorous House and Cloud Forest and lastly explored the beautiful gardens. Although the weather was very wet, the children embraced it and were keen to learn more about extreme weather and how plants can thrive in different conditions. 

In topic, as Geographers we named the continents and oceans and investigated the weather and climate in the tropics. We explored the weather and climate in places around the world that our friends and families live and have visited themselves. We have also used world maps, atlases and globes to identify the United Kingdom and its countries, as well as the oceans studied throughout the week. 

*If you have any recycling please sent in for the children to use during their play projects.

Parent/Care Survey

We are really interested in hearing from you as parents and carers about your and your children's experience of our school. We would be grateful if you would fill out this very short questionnaire. The information we collect will help us inform decisions about the school so we can better support you and your children to fulfill our vision of meeting children where they are on their learning journeys. 

Thanks,
