A few weeks ago Year 1 wrote questions for Jordan Weston a.k.a The Bearded Botanist from Westons Nursery. We were very excited on Friday to find that he had written back to us and answered some of our questions! He told us that his favourite plant is a Dahlia, so we used our careful observation skills to draw Dahlias of our own. 

Please have a read of this week's Quinton Quill.

Have a lovely weekend.

Year 6 band 'Purple Plutonians' have arrived at Woodbine Recording Studio to record their original song 'The Milky Way Motorway'! 🎙️ We can't wait to hear how their debut single turns out!

On Friday we celebrated 'World Environment Day'. The School Council members started the day with an assembly, packed with information about the theme for the day 'A Global Call for Climate Action'.  Once back in class, we looked at the WWF website and the 10 most endangered animals, reading about the reasons that their numbers in the wild a so low, including hunting, deforestation and wildfires. The children chose one of these animals and used clay to make them. We were overwhelmed with the creativity of the children and their attention to detail. They were so excited to use the clay and really showed off their skills in manipulating it to create shapes and animal parts, as well as using tools to help join the pieces and add texture and markings to their creatures! Well done Year 1 :)

We are continuing our planting and at the end of last week, it was Year 5's turn. The children enjoyed being able to take part in this and helped to plant potatoes in their own planting bed. They found the look of the seed potatoes funny as they were very crinkly and had already started sprouting tubers! They are excited to see then start to show above the ground.
