Outdoor Owls club started in glorious sunshine last week. 😎 1L have definitely worked hard as a team to go around collecting ‘unicorn hair’ from our outdoor spaces. Apparently, unicorns like to have a good old scratch against the fencing and leave their hair for children to make friendship bracelets with... how thoughtful 🧐 . Even the resident ducks have been looking around for some! 🦆🦆.

School Days 30 April
This Monday, saw the start of Puzzle Club, where the Year 2 children had the opportunity to play lots of exciting board games, memory games, logic puzzles and jigsaws. The children challenged their friends in a game of Battleships, Scrabble, Draughts, Dominoes, Charades, Guess Who, Headbanz and Frustration. The children who attended, quickly picked up the rules of the games, had great fun and are already looking forward to our next session.

Book Bingo!
Over the holiday, we set the lower juniors a book bingo challenge to encourage each child to get their books out and enjoy some quality reading time.
They all had to try and fill as many of the squares as possible and they will receive dojos for each challenge they fulfilled.
We asked them to read in all sorts of different places, to a variety of people and wearing different things! A few examples were: read in your pyjamas, read whilst eating breakfast, read on a Saturday, read to a group of people, read whilst wearing a hat, read to an animal or cuddly toy or listen to someone reading to you!
The children have all done so well and some even sent in photographs of them reading. It’s wonderful to see the enjoyment the children get from getting their nose stuck in a book and I’m sure I don’t need to remind you all about the benefits a child gains from regular reading!
So – keep sharing stories; cuddle up and read to each other as often as you can – and if your child fancies reading in the bath, wearing mittens, or up a tree, then, why not!! The more they read, the better!

Message from Ms Brookes-ward, Head of Infants.
Summer is here! And in the Infant Department we are looking forward to some fun times, not least of which are the opportunities to join some of the clubs on offer: Chess, Cookery, Yoga, Outdoor Owls, Skipping, Puzzles, German, Late Games, to name but a few. So, if you're looking to developing a new skill or building on one you already have, don't miss the chances on offer. Some clubs are specifically for Year One and others for Year Two, so check the times and we look forward to seeing you.

Congratulations to Anvita for winning the @aeschoolforgirls year 5 photography competition! It’s a beautiful photograph with a great message that went with it “This displays hope because it’s the start of a new day and walking makes me happy 😊”. We can all see why it caught the judges eye. Well done 👏🏆#LBHSSuccess #photography #year5 #hope #creativity

Message from Miss Jennings, Head of Early Years.
Welcome back everyone! We hope you had a restful break.
A fun filled summer term lies ahead of us.
Over the next 4 weeks Nursery will be learning about Spring and New Life. Activities will be based around a Hen, Frog, Butterfly, Broad beans, and Sunflower life cycles.
Based on the children's interests, we have also been busy changing the role play areas inside and out. We now have a Lady Barn Supermarket and Space Station, no doubt over the next few weeks, we will see aliens popping into the supermarket for a pint of milk! #LBHS #preschool #learningthroughplay #spring #newlife #nursery #discovery #opportunity #success
