Weekly Highlights at Mossy Lea!

This week in our Picture News assembly, we explored the question: Is it important to have a morning routine? We discussed the benefits of starting the day well and how it can set us up for success. This links to the British Value of 'Rule of Law'—understanding how routines and structures help everything run smoothly. We also learned that 750 schools in England will trial free daily breakfast clubs starting in April, offering healthy breakfasts and morning activities to support learning.

The highlight of the week?

Our duck and chick eggs have hatched! It was an incredible experience watching them emerge from their shells in the incubator. The excitement in the classroom was contagious as we witnessed the first tiny cracks, followed by the arrival of our fluffy new friends! They have now been transferred to their cages, where we can continue to care for them and observe their growth. What an amazing, hands-on way to learn about life cycles and the wonders of nature!

A fantastic week of learning and discovery! Well done, everyone!
