Before we broke up for the summer Key Stage One were studying plants and as part of this topic one of our parent’s came in to talk to the children about his job as a botanist. He also spoke to us about how to grow healthy plants and judged our sunflower competition, Miss Kennedy’s class won!

‘I wanted to write to thank you (and in particular Miss Kennedy and the other Y1 & Y2 staff), for the opportunity to come into school and talk to Y1 and Y2 about my work. I really enjoyed it and was inspired by the kids thirst for knowledge, and by how much they already knew! You are doing a great job. I enjoyed the questions that the pupils asked, some of them were really quite tough! I’m looking forward to coming in again to do some more outreach in the next academic year.’ Raj Whitlock
