SCHOOL NEWS & Key Dates
DORSET HEATH VISIT
As part of the Mini Beasts topic, Elmers enjoyed a wonderful visit from the Dorset Heath team. The children took part in a range of exciting, hands-on activities, including making "Pongy Potions" to discover how scented plants attract insects, exploring the fascinating butterfly life cycle, and joining in with a fun butterfly action rhyme.
The children were enthusiastic learners throughout the session and loved discovering more about the amazing world of insects and their habitats. To round off the Mini Beasts learning, they were delighted to release the butterflies after patiently waiting for them to emerge from their chrysalises. It was a magical experience and a wonderful way to celebrate everything they had learned!
MIDWIFE VISIT
As part of our PSHE topic, 'Changing Me', the children in Years 2 and 3 enjoyed a visit from a midwife, who came to talk about her important role in caring for mothers and babies. The children learned about what babies need to grow and stay healthy, both before and after they are born.
Our visitor brought along some of the equipment she uses in her job, including a blood pressure monitor, weighing scales and a Doppler, which the children used to listen to a baby's heartbeat. It was a fascinating and engaging session that brought our learning to life and gave the children a wonderful insight into the work of a midwife.
WOODLAND WEDNESDAY DATES
Please see below the Woodland Wednesday Schedule for the Summer Term.
On their specific dates, the children will need to wear appropriate clothing, including waterproofs if the weather is due to be wet – please be aware they may get mucky, so old clothing would be best, and some spare clothes to change into following the activity in the event of wet weather is also advised.
