Essential Question: Who's hiding in the Enchanted Forest? 

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Wyville woods. Mrs.Pacey told us all about Sneezy the dragon who lived in the woods but she couldn’t find him as he was feeling very sad. Sneezy had a cold and when he sneezed he had blown down all of the fairy houses. He was very sad that he had blown down the houses of his friends. So that Sneezy knew we were his friends, we made a special friendship bracelets before entering the woods. We explored around and saw some really magical things including  the fairy’s play park and what we think was Sneezy’s den. We collected some natural resources for our art project and enjoyed a lovely story before returning to school on the bus.

Leader in Me

On a daily basis, the children try to demonstrate our core values within school. As we aim to practise them so often, they become good habits that we can use not only in school but also at home too. 

• Habit 1: Be Proactive (You’re in Charge)
• Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind (Have a Plan)
• Habit 3: Put First Things First (Work First, Then Play)
• Habit 4: Think Win-Win (Everyone Can Win)
• Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood(Listen Before You Talk)
• Habit 6: Synergise (Together Is Better)
• Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw (Balance Feels Best)
