This week in Forest School, Team Daffodils have been exploring the effects of the rain. We have found muddy puddles to jump and roll in and searched in the pond for creatures. Team Daffodils were very disappointed to find only old toys in the pond, which they have retrieved and returned to Forest…

Last week, the Daffodils explored a Little Town in the school hall. We enjoyed role playing in the different areas; particularly where there were costumes to try on and vehicles to ride. There was lots of excitement and we all had lots of fun playing with new friends in our Team Daffodils.

The children have been discovering insects in the ground.

In English we are editing our writing by using red 'teacher' pens, to spot our mistakes and make corrections. We are then polishing our work by writing up the finished product in our neatest handwriting. We are so grown up checking and correcting our work all by ourselves.
