This courageous bunch have been tasting an array of critters. There were a real mixture of reactions to the taste of mealworms, crickets, locusts and grasshoppers!

As part of our Wonderful World of Bugs Expedition, we have been immersing ourselves in every aspect of the topic. Here, our children have been looking at what some countries are doing with regard to farming insects to replace traditional proteins, providing greater sustainability and having less of a negative environmental impact. In light of this, we have been sampling a variety of critters including locusts, buffalo worms, crickets and mealworms and of course, critiquing each ‘delicacy’ with the trained eye of an experienced food critic. Delicious! 
Here’s the gang!. A 
quite brilliant effort from Ronnie who is this week’s superhero – he has really tried his best in every element of his learning. Alas, we the turn to Evie and Evie. The first has amassed a quite ridiculous 6661 coins on TT Rockstars over the last 7 days and the latter, has shown tremendous resilience and effort in dealing with a plethora of difficult math’s problems. Well done to all and have a great weekend everybody.
4KC are working tirelessly towards their final product of our expedition, ‘Wonderful World Of Bugs’! Here are just some of the beautiful drawings of their chosen mini-beasts…
Congratulations to all our winners…
Here’s another reason to celebrate. After much deliberation, Mrs Ball and Mrs Watters settled on Will for this week’s superhero: a very deserving winner…
Congratulations to Liam for becoming this week’s Crew Rock Star by amassing an impressive 17 574 coins over the last 7 days – awesome work!
Further congratulations is reserved for Lois who was voted (by her Crew) as this week’s Children’s Champion. Check out some of the comments below that were given as reasons by her peers. Very well done Lois.
And finally, here’s a trio of Special Mention’s (Toby, Elisha & Georgia) for some quite superb jottings during a math’s activity. Yes, I went a little overboard with the stamps and stickers but you would, wouldn’t you?
Mathematics all over the tables today! We have been learning a variety of different methods to calculate addition problems… and making lots of mess along the way!
This week in science we have been learning about adaptations of animals and how they are suited to living in their environments.
Don’t worry Mr Hayes, it’ll wipe off!
Well big well doe to Dalton for receiving the most votes when our Crew filled in their individual nominations for this week’s Children’s Champion. One always feels that a nomination from your peers just means that little bit more…
If it’s good enough for our children, its good enough for our staff too… Everything that you are doing in class, we are doing too!
We have also be revisiting our Core Values that we set together as a whole community 5 years ago. Here we are unpicking exactly what it looks like to embrace our values and identify our own HOWLs – Habits of Work and Learning. HOWLS help us demonstrate how we are working to be the best version of ourselves or as we like to say, “Being the BEST version of ME!”
