PREP UPDATE ON THE ALLISS GARDEN

Reception, Forms 1 and 2 have created a wonderful Bee Garden, bursting with flowers, to attract our much-needed pollinators. We hope this will continue to blossom into the Michaelmas term.

The Form 4 vegetable beds are thriving. The pupils have harvested the radishes - eaten on the spot as they were picked! By early Autumn we should have a good crop of runner beans, onions, garlic, tomatoes and later in the season, squash and pumpkins. Well done to all those children who have got involved with planting and weeding.

Letters To The King

Form 4 pupils posted their letters to the King in early May to wish him luck for the Coronation. The children shared their interests and news with His Majesty, offered useful advice on how to stay brave on the day of the Coronation and let him know that they are ‘there for him’ if he needs them!

Form 1 Coultershaw Heritage Sit And Beam Pump

Form 1 enjoyed a great day out at Coultershaw Heritage Site & Beam Pump. The morning was spent exploring the Beam Pump and Water Wheel and they also had a go at operating the hand water pumps in the Engine House. Their design skills were put to the test in a boat making and testing activity where lots of fun was had racing the boats down the water chute. After a picnic lunch in the sunshine, the afternoon was spent on a Wind in the Willows trail and craft activities.
