Rescuing Buzz Lightyear!
Poor Buzz has got stuck up a tree and we have been thinking of ways to rescue him. We have been busy drawing plans and making things that might work - ladders, swimming pools for him to jump into, rockets and lassoos are just a few of our ideas. Lots of us added writing to our drawings to explain what we were thinking!

Thank you to the grandparents who came to visit us. We had a great time playing different games.

Reading for Pleasure Day
Thank you so much to everyone who came to our reading for pleasure day to read with the children. They really do love sharing books with adults! We had a lovely day in school doing lots of activities based around the book 'Stick Man' but it was very busy and I am sure the children must have been tired when they got home!
