  Quidditch!

  Posted by Ms Jones Jonzon

  We had so much fun at the Quidditch Taster Day! First we were divided into the four houses and then got to fly around on broomsticks, trying to score with quaffles. We added in bludgers, keepers and even the golden snitch! It was so great to do something new!

  Outdoor Learning

  Posted by Ms Jones Jonzon

  We enjoyed the crisp air and sunshine during Outdoor Learning today! The children were very excited to get back into the forest to explore. Their challenge today was to make a habitat for an animal. We learned that a habitat is not just a home, but provides food, shelter, water, everything a creature needs to survive.
