  Children have begun to learn how to dance around a Maypole.  Once we have refined our moves and learnt some sequences over the coming weeks, the children will do a small performance to parents in the final week of term. Here are a few pictures of the children practicing a few of the dances before we break up for summer. Head over to the Gallery to watch the children in action.

  

• Author Visit- Billy Bob Buttons

  Wed 29 Jun 2022

  Last Thursday, the children here at MBHT were visited by Billy Bob Buttons, who spoke with the Juniors about how to create exciting stories and what tips he had for making his characters more interesting. The Infants did not miss out on the fun as they were read two of Billy Bob Buttons' books, The Hungry Grasshopper and Never Tickle the Tickle Monster. Rave reviews from all of Willow Class. To end his visit, Billy Bob Buttons challenged the Juniors to draw a picture of the Tickle Monster from a description he read. The results were amazing and a little bit scary!!

  Over the last few weeks, the children have been busy learning all about bees and have built and decorated our hive.  The colony of bees has now been delivered into the hive, we look forward to continuing to learn more about them and also to harvest some honey in late Autumn.  Thank you to David @TheBeeFarmer.
