• District Bloom in Schools 2020

  Thu 26 Nov 2020

  During the summer term Sophie grew her own tomato plant with help from her family.  Sophie’s mum sent in regular updates with photos of Sophie’s plant, her first flowers and fruits and the eventual height measurement and we entered these into the District Schools in Bloom 2020 competition in the fruit and vegetable ‘Garden Giants’ section.  Sophie’s tomato plant grew to 144cm and produced 11 tomatoes. 

   

  We are delighted to announce that Sophie won the runner up prize in this section of the competition.  Well done Sophie!!

• Watling View Festival Theme Day

  Wed 04 Nov 2020

  On Wednesday 4th November we all enjoyed a Festival Theme Day. Within our bubbles we planned and took part in a range of activities. Buttercups and Daisies enjoyed a Fairground Festival, enjoying playing Hoopla and a Coconut Shy. They also made candyfloss and popcorn. Poppies, Daffodils and Bluebells created a Notting Hill Carnival inspired festival, they created head-dresses, personalised tambourines and showed off their dance skills. Tulips, Adventurers and Sunflowers went to Rio Carnival for their festival, they made Stuffed Peppers, created ornate masks and demonstrated their conga skills. Upper Schools' festival involved creating a festival band, decorating their festival tents, immersing themselves in a Festival Sensory Story and creating festival costumes and props using their art skills.

   

  It was a busy day that was rounded off with each classes interactive whiteboard acting as a big screen at a festival and a Zoom video showed everyone what was happening in each class. A great time was had by all and it was a perfect way to set us up for our new term's topics of Festivals (LMS and US) and Light and Dark (EYFS).
