A few pictures from our magical wedding celebration today! A very memorable day for everyone. @gillhead25 @Gillibrand_Sch

We have had a visit from Speedy the tortoise today! We learned about how to take care of tortoises. We learned about hibernation, egg laying and all sorts of interesting things. Thank you Mr and Mrs Moon! @Gillibrand_Sch @gillhead25 @tortoiseblog @tortoiserescue

We loved our visit from @GrandadWheels today. A highly entertaining read through of one of his books and an insight into life in a wheelchair. The children also designed some really excellent wheelchairs of their own. Thank you Brian! @Gillibrand_Sch @gillhead25

Today we have been making observations of this giant African land snail which we found fascinating! @gillhead25 @Gillibrand_Sch

We still managed a picnic despite the rain and had a great time on our final week of our gardening project with @JigsawHG . We have learned so much about making a garden that supports plants and animals living together in harmony. @Gillibrand_Sch @gillhead25

Enjoying our Jubilee celebrations even though we had to take the picnic indoors because of the weather. Thank you to everyone who pulled together to make it so memorable and to her majesty Queen Elizabeth for popping by! @Gillibrand_Sch @gillhead25 #PlatinumJubilee

This week Reception have been leaving their legacy in school. They have planted a pear tree that will grow with them on their Gillibrand Journey. #LeaveALegacy

Today we learned a new gardening technique called ‘no dig’ gardening which is better for wildlife that lives in your garden. We planted up all the beds with flowering plants, fruits and vegetables and it looks amazing! @gillhead25 @Gillibrand_Sch @JigsawHG @jigsawhomes

Part one of our gardening project with @jigsawhomes to design and plant a garden for the community at Buttermere Community Centre. Today our budding gardeners and landscape designers are hard at work planning their garden. @Gillibrand_Sch @gillhead25

We are enjoying the story of Jack and the Beanstalk this week. It’s an oldie but a goodie! So much drama and language to be explored. Here we are making the giant some breakfast in our mud kitchen. @Gillibrand_Sch @gillhead25

An eggs-ellent egg hunt to finish off a lovely week and a super term! @Gillibrand_Sch @gillhead25

Today we have enjoyed wearing some traditional Indian clothes and bangles and trying out some Indian style dance moves. So much fun! @Gillibrand_Sch @gillhead25
