Zayn and Zaki visited family in London and Somerset, passing stone henge on the way. They spent lots of time with cousins and great granny and had lots of fun in the grounds of Maunsel house collecting sweet chestnuts, apples, feeding peacocks and seeing how the locks work in the canal. They also saw how cows like classical music…
Issac and Joseph are having great fun on their holidays.
Yesterday the Chontos family has a great day making memories at Boldon Lodge! Doesn’t it look fab!
Today mam’s work closed for up to 12 weeks, and as we have a few friends who work in the care sector we have been making cloth face masks for vulnerable adults (and children). Whilst we appreciate these won’t protect as well as clinical masks, they will offer some protection and some is better than none I’m sure you can agree.
Aubree has helped measure, cut out and sew the fabric together, her ability on the machine is growing and I’m excited to see what she will be capable of creating as an adult!

We have been finding out about Louis Pasteur in science, so we decided to carry out an experiment of our own. We had two pieces of bread, we did not handle one piece, but the other piece we all handled. Now we are waiting to see what happens!
We love stories in Year 2. This week we are looking at a book Footpath Flowers by Jon Arno Lawson and Sydney Smith, We used the first illustration and started to tell our own stories. This is the class telling each other their story.
They say smiles are contagious so what better way to celebrate World Smile Day 2017 than share some of our smiles with you.
A big thank you to all our children for the smiles you bring us everyday.
