FIAR Make Way for Ducklings - day 2

The weather was good today so we headed to the Wetlands Centre at Washington to check out the ducks! The ducks, however, didn't get a look in as there was a chap on site from Wetheriggs Animal Rescue and Conservation Centre with a barn full of exotic animals!!!! Sylvie and Bea had a fantastic time holding the Bearded Dragon,the tortoise, the terantula, the huge hissing cockroaches, the Royal python, (Lizzy!!!) and another lizard, (can't remember her name!). What a brilliant morning and not a duck in sight! I think we'll certainly be visiting Wetheriggs Animal centre when we go to the Lakes at the end of May. We'll be picking up the Ducklings again tomorrow when we crack on with some maths and science!!!

Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel

I hosted on the 13th October. We read Madeline then made Eiffel Towers from pink waffers! It was a bit of trial of will as I'm sure the kids would rather have been eating the waffers, (they were rather tasty!!!).

Zoe's turn to host this week. What a fab session! The children coloured in maps, sorted out North, South, East and West and generally had a jolly old time!

Five in a Row

4th October 2011






We had our first Five in a Row session today. Hayley hosted. She read 'Lentil' then the children set to work doing some taste tests!!! Salty, sweet, bitter and I can't even remember what the other one is! Ha! Well, there you go!!!! The little ones had a fab time.
