A big thank you to Farmer Jess for coming along to talk to our children in a whole school assembly about life on her farm. The talk was in aid of British Science week and was based on the theme ‘growth’. Farmer Jess talked to the children about her dairy cows and how milk is produced and the process of milking cows to the milk arriving in the supermarket. The children enjoyed asking lots of questions!

A huge thank you to Derbyshire Police for coming along to Street Lane Primary during our online safety week to hold talks with key stage 1 and key stage 2 on online safety. The talks took place at the end of online safety week so the children were able to really impress our police officer with all of their knowledge of keeping themselves safe online!

Each class enjoyed their online safety themed creative learning workshop by Konflux Theatre today.

In Reception and Key Stage 1, we have been having lots of fun in our forces topic this term. Take a look at our investigation where we investigated the effect of moving jelly cubes different surfaces, including oil.

We are taking part in the RSPB Big School Birdwatch this year. During January each class is going to spend some time in our school garden observing the birds that come to visit. Our Ducklings will be making bird feeders to try to encourage more birds to visit. This is a lovely opportunity for our children to learn about local wildlife and to identify the different birds that are commonly seen at this time of year. We will send some information home with the children if you would like to take part at home as well. Enjoy birdwatching!
