Classes
World Book Day
Kingfishers created their world book day characters as potatoes!
Forest School
On Friday, the children very much enjoyed our first Forest School session. We looked for signs of Spring, made stickmen, climbed trees, made bird food, dug holes in the mud and enjoyed a marshmallow smore around the campfire. We were very lucky that the sun was shining and it was a joy to see the children exploring and learning in our Forest School area.
Girls’ Football
On Tuesday our girls football team participated in the Norfolk School Games Girls’ Football Tournament at Thorpe St. Andrew High School. The team played against three other schools and won all three games, taking us through to the county finals on Friday 7th March! A huge well done to our team: Ivy (c), Megan, Georgina, Layla, Florence S, Hattie, Freya, Lily, Grace. We are especially proud of how they played in the second game as they had to come from behind, showing their perseverance and courage. See below for results and goalscorers.

Coots Year 1 Maths
At the end of last half term, Year 1 Coots took their Maths learning outside. The children had to hunt for missing number sentences in our outside area and then work with their partner to find the missing number.
Coots Computing
Last week in our Computing lesson we used the BeeBot. We had already used the virtual beebot in our computing lessons, so the children enjoyed applying what they know about the virtual beebot to the actual Beebot. The children had time to ‘tinker’ with it and explore the different buttons before they set themselves a challenge to make a trail using building blocks for the Beebot to follow.
Gogo Giraffe
An exciting week for the Bitterns, as we got to sand and prime our Gogo giraffe and work in collaboration with our artist, Josie Smyth.
Block Coding
The Bitterns used Scratch to design a musical instrument and program code to run ‘on tap’. They selected appropriate blocks for their purpose and were incredibly creative!
Coots History
In our history, Coots have been learning about old toys. This week we had a play on toy old pinball games. A much older wooden one and an electronic one from the 80’s. The children had great fun playing these games and spotting the similarities and differences between the two toys.
