We had an exciting time when this super yellow car came to visit us at school, as part of our 'Transport Trouble' project! We loved seeing the way the headlights moved up and down!

 

We wonder what other forms of transport will come and visit this half term?!

Please help Cove Infant School to win £5,000 of National Book Tokens, so that we can buy new books for our children to read! Not only is reading such a vital skill, helping children to develop in all areas of their learning, but reading for pleasure is an amazing way to improve children's wellbeing. It would be an incredible boost for all of our children if we were able to provide them with a wider range of enjoyable books!

Thank you 

Today we celebrated 100 days of being in Year 1!

"We had the best day ever! We learnt about the number 100 ALL day!" Hope - Year 1 Newts

"We made 100 day celebration glasses and hats.  We wore the special hats and had flags.  It was the BEST. DAY. EVER!"  Jack Year 1 Newts

"I loved 100 day - we made our own hats and for our whole class book, I drew 100 giraffes!"  Sacchyam - Year 1 Frogs

"100 day was amazing! We made paper "100" glasses, which I put on over my glasses, which was so funny! For our whole class book, I drew 100 flowers!" Imogen - Year 1 Frogs

It is not just the tadpoles who have grown quickly! Look at the chicks now! They have all been having a lovely time at Miss Ferdows house - 2 will be staying with Miss Ferdows; the other 8 moved to their new home today!

Mrs Hill took fantastic care of the tadpoles over Easter and we have been very excited to see that some have turned into Froglets! Stanley explained that a froglet is "when it has legs like a frog but still has a tail like a tadpole." Charlie noticed that some of the froglets have shorter tails and some have longer tails, as well as noticing that some of the froglets are darker and some are lighter.  Charlie and Stanley are keen to do more research on the froglets and will update you on here with what they find out! 

We have been carefully watching the tadpoles over the last week - they are certainly getting bigger but they have not started to develop any more.  Did you know it can take up to 70 days for the tadpoles to get their back (hind) limbs?!

The chicks stayed in school this week - all of the children got to have them in their class for a day and those children who wanted to got to hold them.  They were all very excited and were SO gentle with them - well done everyone! It has been lovely having the chicks in school; we hope to do the same next year!

The tadpoles have changed lots over the weekend too -can you look at the pictures from Friday and explain what has changed? Do you know which part will develop next?

I was very surprised to see the chicks this morning -their wings have developed so much over the weekend!

Luckily, the Covid - 19 restrictions do not apply to chicks and they were able to go and stay at Miss Ferdow's house for the weekend.  She told me that they liked going for walks around the house with her!
