We have been getting excited about our new expedition ‘would you travel by wheels, wings or other things?’
The children enjoyed hopping on a vintage bus today. We looked at the different parts of the bus and enjoyed a sing song together.
We worked hard in our crew session this morning to make our own buses using the construction materials outside…
Today we have been getting excited about our summer term expedition. Our guiding question is ‘Would you travel by wheels, wings or other things?’. Can you guess which mode of transport we are creating here? The children loved using paper mache and working collaboratively to create their models.
The finishing touches have been added to our bear cub, with Olivia completing his head and each child from the foundation stage putting their hand print on his back as part of our community crew. All that remained to do, was for the logos to be attached and the bear to be varnished before Crewso began his journey to Leeds to join the Leeds Bear Hunt for the summer.
Crewso said his farewells to Norton and began his journey all shiny and proud, to represent the children of Norton Campus!
He was excited to meet his new temporary crew when he arrived in Leeds, stopping for a minute to take in the view of the River Aire across Rose Wharf in the sunshine. Then he happily climbed the stairs and joined his pack ready to be situated in his new home somewhere in Leeds City Centre. He’s going to let us know exactly where he is soon, so that we can all go and visit him! Have fun Crewso! #leedsbearhunt #leedsbearhunt2023 #leedshospitalscharity

We have been busy creating beautiful bunting to celebrate Spring. Classes across our school have used lots of different resources and techniques to brighten up our environment.
We’ve had another great week in class 1. We’ve made spring time bunting, Easter nests, been on an egg hunt and even had a special visitor 🐰🐾
Happy Easter everyone 🙂
Yesterday we said goodbye to the 13 chicks we have been looking after for the last ten days. The children have been fascinated watching them hatch and develop in such a short space of time. When they left yesterday most of the chicks had started to grow their wing feathers and some were even beginning to take flight!
The children in EYFS have helped with cleaning their brooder boxes, changing their water and replenishing their food. Best of all, they’ve loved taking it in turns to hold them. We have been so impressed with how kind and gentle the children have been when handling them.
The chicks were collected by The Happy Chick Company who will now take care of them on their farms where they will produce free range eggs for the supermarkets. We wish the chicks a very happy life roaming the countryside 🐥.
