Year 3 had lots of fun on the farm this morning! They fed the animals, dug a wallow for Spo,t the pig, and put in lots of water. Spot absolutely loved his new play area. They also watched the alpacas getting sheared.

This morning, Year 6 were lucky enough to visit the local market at Avallon! It was the perfect immersion experience. The children visited la boulangerie, la boucherie, la biscuiterie et la fromagerie, ordering their lunch and chatting with shopkeepers in French.

Pre-School have been learning about France! They have collaged the French flag and made their own salt dough pastries. During circle time, they have been learning how to say 'bonjour, je m'apelle...' and other key phrases, such as how they are feeling.

Nursery Maple have been learning about floating and sinking. They have been experimenting with different objects to see what happened when they put them in the water tank...
