 What a wonderful afternoon spent together as a school community. The children have worked so hard all week making soup, cookies, muffins and posters, and today was such a celebration of their efforts. Every child pitched in; welcoming people, taking orders, serving food and drinks and selling their bakes.  We are thrilled to be able to donate £146 to the Pakistan Floods Appeal. Well done, Team Taddington!

 We have been overwhelmed by the generosity of the school community this week. The food that was donated has been used in many different ways. Yesterday, the children sorted the produce and made food boxes up for the elderly people in the village.  The infants joined together after playtime and headed off to deliver the boxes to the elderly. When we arrived at each door, we sang a verse from one of the harvest songs we have been learning. The children really enjoyed visiting each person and were delighted with how much their gifts were appreciated. In the afternoon, we made soup using the rest of the produce to sell at our 'Harvest Cafe' on Friday afternoon in aid of the 'Pakistan flood appeal.'

 Tigers are on the look-out! A mystery visitor snook into our classroom during playtime and ate Mrs Chapman’s snack!! Next to the empty packet, we found a clump of green fur… Mrs Beswick ran into our classroom after having a bit of a shock! She had bumped into a huge green creature in the corridor. The children asked her questions to find out more information. We made a list of everything we found out.  Tigers wanted to warn the other children in school about the creature (who calls himself ‘The Terrible Beast’) so we made wanted posters to put up around school.  We will keep you posted on any developments…

Wow! What an afternoon. There has been so much fantastic learning going on. We dived into our new topic- 'V.I.P.s of the past' where the children have learnt about three very important people that have impacted the world today.  Florence Nightingale We learnt that Florence carried a lamp with her to check on the patients in the hospital she was looking after.  We made lanterns to remind us that she was known as 'The lady with the lamp'.           Florence is remembered for the work she did in order to improve hospital conditions and the care patients received. The children practiced being nurses, looking after wounded soldiers that were injured during the Crimean war.                                 The wounded soldiers were clearly being looked after well!     Neil Armstrong  The children thoroughly enjoyed learning about the astronaut...
