If you're a Year 2 parent, I bet you know more than you ever thought possible about the Great Fire of London by now! Here Leopard Class are reenacting trying to put the fire out using fire buckets and passing water down human chains from the River Thames. It was lots of fun trying but we realised why it was so ineffective!

Over the last half term, all classes have been loving their gymnastics PE unit. It was especially exciting getting to use the large apparatus and travelling in different ways across it. This half term, Y1 are experiencing tag rugby with North Walsham rugby club and we are all excitedly preparing for sports week.

It's official! We continue to be a Good school! Following our recent Ofsted visit, inspectors praised us for being a happy and friendly school where our children have a strong sense of belonging. You can read more about the report via the link in our comments.

One of the highlights of this half term has been having duck and chicken eggs to hatch in Reception and Year 1. The children have loved watching them hatch and have become expert handlers too. They definitely all know about the life cycle of chickens and ducks! Year 1 couldn't believe how zoomy the ducklings were when they were swimming! Reception have drawn some amazing pictures of the chicks using pastels. This experience is only possible due to the Friends of Lodge Lane donating a generous sum yet again! Could you be a member of the new committee of the Friends of next year? As you know, many of our committee will be leaving as their children move on to Junior School. Without you, we cannot provide experiences like this. Please get in touch if you feel you could help. We would be super grateful!
