Meerkat class had an amazing time at Africa Alive yesterday, they enjoyed getting up close and personal with Elton the royal python!

Giraffe class had a great time at Africa Alive yesterday! Obviously, our favourite part was watching Sara feed the giraffes! The children were also trying to see if their tongues were longer than a giraffe's tongue!

Today, Year 3 have been listening to and working with our visiting author, Steve Clifford. The children have been using their prompt from Steve to write a three paragraph story about an imaginary land with a mystery creature. There has been some fantastic work produced and shared. Don't forget, Steve will be selling and signing his books outside the Emu classroom, under the canopy, at the end of the school day. It was fantastic seeing so many pupils buying signed books from Steve at the end of the day yesterday.

We have been fortunate to welcome the author, Steve Clifford to KJS today. Year 6 experienced a writing workshop and assembly. Tomorrow, Year 3 and 4R will have their turn with Year 5 and 4M on Friday. Be sure to go and meet Steve after school tomorrow, where you will find him set up outside the Year 3 classrooms under the canopy signing and selling his books.

The Year 6 pupils were highly amused to spot this little squirrel enjoying their playground whilst they were busy learning. They have chosen to name him 'Bob' as they often spot him roaming the field and hopping between the trees
