Some small visitors came to visit Key Stage 1 last Friday. Some were slimy, some were wriggly and others were rather scary! Andrew Smith the Minibeast Man brought along his great selection of minibeasts from around the world. The children got to touch a number of minibeasts ranging from a sedate tortoise to a furry terrantula! Other minibeasts the children explored were, a lizard that liked to be held like a doll, a very slimy Giant African Snail, a Giant African millipede that did the can can said Ryan from 1W, a surprisingly silky snake and a toad that used two year 1 girls as a toilet! It was a very exciting, but educational, experience for all the children. Many thanks to Miss Westbrook for organising a great day!

Thank you Governor News Last week the termly meeting of the full Governing Body was held chaired by Mrs Kerry Riley, our Vice chair. Beforehand school subject leaders met with their allocated governor to discuss curriculum updates. During the meeting governors received updates from all the different sub committees as well as a report on last terms work from Miss Fisher. FOB News We sadly heard last week that Mrs Heasman is no longer able to continue as a FOB member. She has offered a great deal of support to FOB and their events for several years and she has been particularly active with Miss Cross in re-vamping and updating the FOB web-site. So she and her skills will be sorely missed and we would like to say a big thank you to her for all her time and efforts. If there is anyone who would like to take on this role please contact Mrs Bruce or another FOB committee member or the school.
