Following our morning exercise, we had some playtime outside and some of us helped Mr Addinal to set up the bird camera! We then made our own Easter Nests from scratch! They were absolutely delicious, could you make a batch of your own?

After our morning Joe Wicks workout we had an egg and spoon race using tennis rackets and balls. We had a KS1 and a KS2 round. It was quite hard!

We looked at some riddles this morning on farm animals. Then we had a go at writing our own riddles. Could you write your own ‘what am I?’ riddle?

The children have been loving the sunshine outside and wanted to use the chalks too, so we created a geometric pattern on the floor and then used chalks to colour in! Do you like our pattern? We were very impressed!
