Scholastic Book Fair

Sun 20 Mar 2022

The school is thrilled by how popular this term's Scholastic Book Fair was with all children (and parents!).

Every child in the school had the chance to browse the fair during the school day, and parents were then invited to join in after school.

It was brilliant to see families sharing their love of books together at Penn Wood!

Ducklings in Year 1

Fri 18 Mar 2022

What an exciting week we have had in Year 1! On Monday morning we received a special delivery with 5 white eggs.

When we came to school on Wednesday morning, we noticed that one of the eggs had some cracks on it and when we went really, really quiet we could hear muffled squeaks coming from the eggs. After a while the first egg hatched... Then the second, and the third.

On Thursday morning the remaining 2 ducklings hatched and now they are all together, cuddling, sleeping, eating and drinking.

On Thursday afternoon they had their first swimming lesson and it went very well. We hope you enjoy the photos below.

The children are in the process of naming the ducklings - we are sure they will be very creative.

They discussed road safety and crossing roads. The children became road bikes and practised listening to and following verbal instructions to embed their understanding of cycling proficiency. Using physical theatre, they then freeze framed and discussed more environmentally friendly ways to travel. A fantastic, informative time was had by all.
