I hope you all have a wonderful holiday after a very busy term.
If you have a chance, please add a sticky note to the new "Wallwisher" (at the top of the blog) about what it was like learning and presenting your circus skill.
A big thank you to Ben and Jonty's Nana for the yummy marshmellow mushrooms. What a lovely end of term treat. Remember to keep reading and practicing your wordblast.

Green Day at Riverlands School on PhotoPeach

Today was GREEN DAY at Riverlands School. Nearly everyone came dressed in something green. There were lots of fancy hats and decorated vegetables.
We had a very special surprise when Ronald McDonald came to visit the junior school just before lunch. Then when we got back to our rooms we found pieces of "Green eggs and ham" (vegetable fritatta) and fruit and marshmellows to make our own delicious fruit kebabs.
The day didn't end there. Next we had House activities including face painting, collage, playdough and art.
WHAT A FANTASTIC (AND TIRING) DAY
