A big hello to Year R and we hope that you have enjoyed a rather sunny and warm half term! With the relaxing of the recent lockdown rules, as effective on Monday, we hope you will be able to see other members of your family and friends. Remember to stay safe and keep 2 meters away from those who do not live in your house! Also, some exciting news is that as of Monday we will be welcoming some of you back to school! School will look a bit different and some of you may not be in the same classroom. We also have some new rules for you to follow – but remember we are doing this to keep you safe! We hope you are looking forward to coming back to school with us.
So what have the teachers been up to this half term?
Miss Deacon went for a long walk in the new forest and saw a lizard run along the hot path, a vole scurrying between the leaves and a lot of wild ponies. She even saw a foal! This week she has also made mini chocolate chip cheesecakes, delicious!
When helping with some gardening she came across a blackbird’s nest. She knew that she had blackbirds nesting in the clematis, but they appeared to have stopped, probably because a predator spooked them! Look how deep and neat the nest is!
Its Mrs King’s birthday today so she is enjoying some time at home with her family! Could you sing happy birthday to Mrs King? We hope she is enjoying her day and eating lots of birthday cake! Mrs Aquilina even baked Mrs King a cake and gave to her in the park!
Mrs Conlon has had a brilliant week in the sun. She has been enjoying seeing more of her friends and family, ensuring she kept a safe 2 meters away from those she doesn’t live with! Mrs Conlon has had a picnic with Mr Conlon, met up with her sister, dog and mum where they spent the day on the beach. She also went for a walk around Porchester Castle.
Mrs Aquilina has had another busy week, baking a birthday cake for Mrs King and a banana loaf for her children. She made a butterfly feeding table and then visited her mum in her local park with her children, staying a safe distance at all times. Mrs Aquilina has also been out for a bike ride with her daughter. She visited Mrs King yesterday to give her the cake and with Mrs Grout and Mrs Pearson passed on a gift from all the teachers in year R.
