Makaton Sign of the Week - Lady/Woman
As part of our Let's Explore topic, Reception have learnt about activists like Greta Thunberg and David Attenborough and their important message of taking care of our planet. Children were inspired to create their own placards to share their messages.
Today Year One were introduced to our topic Fantastic Fruits. First of all we shared as a class all of the different types of fruits we already know. Then we listened to the story ‘Handa’s Surprise’ discussing the different types of fruit that were included within the story. Next as a class we looked at specific vocabulary and displayed these around the classroom. As a class we then tasted a variety of different fruits including, strawberries, blueberries, grapes, bananas, and oranges.

As part of Year 5’s experience day they visited Audi. Children looked at body work, interiors and even heard the sound of a sports car. They gained a wide range of vocabulary and had a superb morning. Staff were amazing and commented on the depth of questions the children asked.
Little Lapal Ducklings. To understand the lifecycle of animals, Reception had a very special delivery this month of duck eggs. We have watched the eggs carefully, noticing signs of pipping and we lucky enough to see a tiny duckling hatch from the egg. Our four ducklings are called Poppy, Leonardo, Duckee-Sam and Snowflake. We have spent two weeks looking after the ducklings, teaching them how to eat and drink, holding them very carefully and even watching them take their first swim. They have now gone to their forever home but we are so proud of the children for the care they demonstrated.
On Tuesday, Lapal held their annual Key Stage 2 Science Fair. We had many fantastic projects and the pupils spoke confidently about their enquiries. Throughout the morning, the rest of the school came to learn and engage with our young scientists. Everyone who took part should be incredible proud of their achievements and hard work. Winners and certificates will be handed out during our whole school assembly on Friday.
