• World Book Day

  Tue 13 Mar 2018

  We finally held World Book Day a week late as the original date was snowed off. All the children came dressed as their favourite characters and we stopped what we were doing every hour, on the hour to read a story to celebrate. The day ended with a whole school assembly, including preschool, when we read one final story – The Mousehole Cat.

   

   

  

• Story time

  Fri 09 Mar 2018
  This afternoon we had a whole school story time with hot chocolate to make up for the stories at bedtime that we missed on World Book Day due to the snow. All the children were divided into groups and moved into different classrooms to listen to stories and, of course, to have their hot chocolate and biscuit. The event was enjoyed by all. Thank you very much to the PTFA for organising the refreshments and to Tescos for supplying our hot chocolate.

  

• Dippy Trip

  Fri 09 Mar 2018

  On Tuesday we went on a whole school trip to visit Dippy who is on tour from the London Natural History Museum. We learnt that he was dug up in 1898 and copies of his bones were sent all over the world. London received a set of bones to have their very own Diplodocus.

  We took part in three activities. One was to be palaeontologists and dig for fossils in sand using magnifying glasses and brushes to look closely at what we found. There were ammonites and bivalves, belemnites and sea urchins, ferns, crystals and even a sharks tooth.

  We also went to the fossil room to learn about the pliosaur and megalosaur who lived on our Jurassic coast about 200 million years ago. We had to find the skull of the pliosaur, discover what it ate (fish) and find some of its very sharp teeth. We found the megalosuars footprints and its teeth.

  The third activitiy was to spend time with Dippy and learnt more about this amazing creature. It is 26m long, weights 15 tonnes and had to eat the weight of a small child in plants every hour. When it was born it was the same size as a human baby (about 5kgs) but was an adult by 10 years and could live for 70 or 80 years.

  We all had a fantastic time and learnt lots!
