Animal Antics

This week, our Year 1 children enjoyed a truly memorable experience as they welcomed some very special animal visitors into school. As part of their science work on classification, the children had the chance to see, gently stroke, and even hold a wonderful variety of creatures — including a snake, a chicken, a pygmy hedgehog, a bearded dragon, an owl, a rabbit, and even a millipede.

It was a fantastic hands‑on opportunity that brought their learning to life and sparked plenty of curiosity and conversation.

     

 

Student Voice Scores a Win

            

 

 

 

One of our year 5 children loves basketball and for a long time had been asking if nets could be put outside so he could play at break and lunchtime. While the school didn’t have the additional funds at the time, we challenged him to carry out some research with other children. He worked incredibly hard to put together a proposal and presented his case to the Friends of Ravenswood. They were delighted to support his idea and have generously funded two basketball nets, which, once arrived and assembled, will be outside for the children enjoy.

  • clearly indicated on the booking form, and
  • communicated directly to the Clowning Around staff.

Thank you for your support.
