Today we have been learning all about Anne Frank and her secret annex. We even had a virtual look around. Here is the link……

Just in time before the rain came (and before the grass was cut!) 4RF spent an afternoon surveying the school field, recording their observations of the plants growing there.

But surely it’s all grass right?

Well we identified daisy, dandelion, both white and red clover, shamrock, thistle, speedwell, greater plantain, narrow leaf plantain, buttercup, dove’s foot cranesbill, chickweed and broad-leaved dock…

…And we haven’t even started on the hedgerow yet.

We also spotted something unusual on the surface of some tree leaves – strange reddish cones growing out of the leaf. After some research they turned out to be lime nail galls. They’re formed by microscopic mites that feed on the leaves of lime trees. The mites feed by sucking sap but while doing so produce chemicals that cause the leaves to produce the brightly coloured galls.

Rescheduled: Friday 8 July 2016 at Bromsgrove Golf Club. 

Due to weather conditions and potential course closure, the event scheduled for Friday 17th June has been moved to Friday 8th July.

A fabulous afternoon was had by all to celebrate the Queen’s 90th Birthday. We watched as her helicopter flew over, before she made her very own appearance! We sang happy birthday to her and then we did some dancing together. Long live the Queen!

We celebrated the Queen’s birthday in style today with a party on the playground with picnics and music! The Queen even managed to pay us a visit and arrived in her helicopter!

We have had a wonderful time celebrating the Queen’s 90th Birthday. We had a picnic and a disco and even saw the Queen! We have also been busy making flags, pictures and a timeline of the Queen’s life.

We enjoyed using our own ideas to build beanstalks and comparing the heights.  

We enjoyed another busy creative session making baskets, rabbit masks, used pom poms to print eggs to name but a few things. Thanks to all the adults who came and joined in the fun. 

We enjoyed inviting our Mummy’s into nursery and making them a cream tea before sharing a story. We hope you had a lovely time. Happy Mother’s Day X
