Obviously we can't say if most of the votes came from pupils or parents, but there are clearly some creative people out there! Feel free to leave a comment below telling us why you picked the subject you did.

While you're at it, why not have a go at our new poll on the right and tell us which children's authors you have enjoyed the books of? You can pick multiple answers so tick as many as you want!

Little Red Riding Wolf

Before the holiday a small group of children read  Little Red Riding Wolf with our class governor. Some of the children did some excellent homework after reading the book. Well done to Max and Finlay.
Look at the Year 3 area to see some pictures.

Frogspawn update by Charlie

On Monday 7th April year five started their bike ability course. As my group came back past Moorhens someone noticed some frogspawn in a puddle then it dawned to me that when the puddle dries up the tadpoles will die…..

So, at break time, I told Mrs Glare and we took a tub and some paper to help rescue the tadpoles. Then carefully we fished them out of the puddle. By now we had attracted quite a crowd, who had seen me and Mrs Glare on our hands and knees and come to investigate what we were up to.

Once we had all of the frogspawn out of the puddle and in the tub I carried the frogspawn to the pond. Then carefully I tipped the frogspawn into the pond and it dropped to the bottom. Mrs Glare said it will take a little while till it floats to the surface because the oxygen would have to get into the frogspawn so it could float to the surface. After that I went to the kitchen and asked for some lettuce to feed the tadpoles with. The lettuce had to be really small so that they could eat it.

Soon play time was over and we went back into class as if nothing had happened! I felt proud after what I had done.
