Reception children are learning about houses and homes this term. They used things they could find around the school grounds to make cosy homes for their animals. Great work Sophie and Josh, your animals look really snug.
Class 2 helped the giant from Jack and the Beanstalk with his chores. They pegged out his washing. They put it all out in number order. Oliver and Dylan hope to find his gold one day soon!
Class 2 have been measuring and counting outdoors. They have made towers taller than the decking fence. They think they're better than Bob!
Smiles alround in Windy Winners assembly today. Our winning entries were there for all to see, as was a powerpoint presentaion showing many of the photographs sent in to school since we started our Sunflower competition.

Well done all!
Well, it had to happen sooner or later!
Once again our Supersonic Soil Shifters have been hard at it!
Having harvested, cleaned and sold what was left of our organic veg (the constant rain ruined much of it) we made a start clearing the weeds, trimming the willow and composting the waste.
The money we earned by selling the veg which wasn't ruined by rain, was just enough money to pay for the bedding plant seeds we plan to grow and sell in the New Year.
So start saving up!

Do you shop at Morrison's?
If you do, or know someone who does, please collect the 'Let's Grow' vouchers and hand them in to the School Office.
Every week I shall update the 'Grow-O-Meter' so you can see how close we are to reaching our target!
During the last two months all children have been taking a look at the improvements we have made to our school grounds. Digital photography has been used to make slide shows of what we are most proud of and what we would like to address next.
This FANTASTIC piece of art work was done by Ellie in Class 1, to show people what she liked best about our new school dipping platform. Can you spot what she saw?
Didn't look great did it?
But thanks to a £4000 grant from the Council, we are nearly ready to start planting up our rejuvenated pond.
As you can see we are having a fantastic dipping platform built and when the boards are down we'll be able to get cracking with the pond plants, the bog garden and the wild flowering banks.
We can't wait!
Forget 'Hammer Time' (ok so I'm old!) at Windy Nook it is 'Harvest Time'!
Last night our Busy Gardeners unearthed our first ever Windy Nook Spuds.
We uncovered the root and cut the leaves off to compost!
Then we dug out our little treasure, rinsed them and then stood proudly over them!
And we still had time to build a cane and net structure to protect our strawberries!
The floodgates are open!
Today sixty children from Y5 / 6 have made use of our new gate, giving us access to the wealth of learning opportunities on the Windy Nook Nature Park.
Those green fingered marvels from Windy Nook have spent another evening grafting away to improve the school grounds. Despite the change in the weather, they worked together to erect the first two sections of our 'Living Willow Fence'.
Come to the KS1 yard and have a look!
