• Eyam - The Plague Village

  Mon 16 Jun 2014

  Griffin Class spent a fantastic day in the village of Eyam learning about the plague. 

  Each group was challenged to visit a number of sites around the village in order to gather information about what life may have been like there during the plague years.  Children used I-Pads to access maps and instruction sheets and also to record their visit through note taking and photography. 

  One group were lucky enough to have a chat with the current occupiers of the cottage where the plague is believed to have started its devastating journey.  She said she felt very privileged to live in the village and that it was an honour to live in her particular cottage.  She said that she enjoyed meeting visitors to the village and telling them all about the plague.  Apparently there are still members from three families living in the village who lived there during the plague!  We found out that they don't still have the plague!

  We were thrilled to welcome six new faces to Gnome Class today!
  
  Our little ones have been asking the question, 'Are eggs alive?'  Tricky!
  
  We're still working it out and we are off to The Butterfly House next week to see if the eggs there are alive!
  
  Learning by doing is fun!

  Just a little reminder that Nottinghamshire County Council has increased the cost of a school lunch by 10p to £2.10 from Tuesday.  Adult meals will be £2.52 - sorry, Grown-Ups - you have to pay VAT!
  
  Chef Lou will continue to provide her usual delicious and nutritionally balanced meals.  Why not give them a try?

• Willow Sculpture

  Tue 11 Mar 2014

  A new structure has appeared in the grounds of Gateford park.  No, it's not an alien spacecraft but it is amazing all the same. 

  Jim from Greener Places (who helped to design and build the wildlife garden last spring) has been working hard for us again.  Gateford Oaks very kindly agreed to fund a willow sculpture and today saw Jim and the children preparing the ground, arranging the willow rods and weaving them into place.

  The finished sculpture is beautiful and will provide a quiet area of shade during the warmer months.  During the winter - well, let your imagination run wild...

  Come along and see the Willow Dome for yourself.
