The Miracle of metamorphosis! Caterpillars to butterflies! Robin class were sooo excited to come into class today and see that some of the butterflies had emerged from the chrysalides. One or two hours after their emergence the Painted lady butterflies were fully formed and ready to fly! We fed them with some nectar (sugar-water) and fruit. We then released the butterflies outside so that they could continue the amazing life cycle all over again! Butterflies are important and helpful members of our environment.

The Vale gardeners were excited and curious to see how the seeds/seedlings that they had planted last term had grown during the half term! This consisted of sunflowers and beans to name a few. They also enjoyed planting their own seed today into a pot with compost to take home and nurture. We can't wait to see what grows next! #activelearning #outdoorlearning #inspiringall @glfschools

Caterpillars to Butterflies! As part of our Wider curriculum focus on life cycles in Reception we will be growing our own live butterflies! The little caterpillars will grow to ten times their original size, change into jewel-like chrysalis, and finally emerge as gorgeous Painted Lady butterflies! Watch this space for further photos of the transformation. #activelearning #inspiringall @glfschools

It was great to host The Vale's Got Talent this week. We were entertained by musical numbers; stunt pogo sticks and yoyo tricks; and a wide variety of skills.

A huge thank you to Mrs Bishop from Relax Kids for coming in this morning and creating Breathing Sticks with the children and reading a relaxation to support our Year 6 to manage their feelings whilst doing SATs. She also made them affirmation bookmarks and discussed using affirmations with them. #thankyou #mentalhealthawarenessweek #relaxkids #inspiringall @glfschools
