Thank you to all children who participated in our ‘Student vs Teacher’ competition today to raise money and support Red Nose Day. The children all looked fantastic in their red outfits. Year 4 had a great time beating the teachers!

On Monday, Apley Wood celebrated World Book Day in school. The children came dressed as a book character or author, and they brought a book to share with them.

We had a fantastic morning listening to local author Sarah Griffiths’ new book ‘Tom’s Gift’. In the afternoon, we had a lovely dear time session, sharing our stories with children in Reception and Year 1.

Look at the fantastic outfits Base 11 came in!

Base 14 had a great day celebrating World Book Day. They came to school in fantastic costumes and enjoyed guessing which characters they had all come as.

This week Year 4 have been introduced with their new DT topic… potatoes.

The children discussed their prior knowledge about how potatoes are grown and what they are used for. Over the next couple of weeks, the children will be exploring potato recipes and having a go at cooking some cheesy mash and potato chips. Yum!

Year 4 have started their new topic in RE, ‘Does a beautiful world mean a beautiful God?’. This week we explored the beauty of nature, and how God could have influenced this. The photos show some fantastic work from Base 11!
