Dear Families,

We have had another action packed week with plenty of fun and games. As the Spring weather has been quite unpredictable we have taken our weather watching to the next level, creating a weather chart for September. Each morning different children have a turn to record the date, the weather and to create a picture of the weather on that day. At the end of the month we shall review the different weather and map how many days of each weather type we have experienced!

After the two recent storms, the following day the children were keen to share their experiences and together we recorded them, with Mrs Cooper scribing and the children drawing their reflections. We have created a story wall with all our experiences.
Robert: Last night I heard the thunder and there was lightning too.. it was white.
Denver: Last night I heard a thunderstorm too. It was windy it went “oooooooooooo” The garden was really wet this morning. I walked on the grass and made footprints on the verandah. My dog was scared too!
Regan: It was very wet. I saw some lightning and my mum and dad thought there would be a power cut. The lights turned out and the showers and baths get cold. You wake up and go to your mum and dad’s room. My cat and dog freak out ‘cos they think it’s me banging a drum!
Teddy: I helped Mummy get the candles on because the lightning cut the electricity.
Wolf: I kept trying to turn the lights on but there was no power. After we got back from the shops the lights turned on again! I heard a lot of thunder and a bit of lightning. There was lots of rain so I couldn’t go outside.

The children have loved being police officers, planting broad beans, making amazing block constructions and creating incredible mobile constructions.

Wishing you all a wonderful Spring holiday.. roll on the sunshine!
