T.G.I.S. (Thank goodness it's summer!)

In case you didn't know, summer has arrived in the UK. This is always the start/chance for much merriment and laughter (by us Brits ..... we don't often take summer seriously ..... and the rest of the world!) You know the kind of thing ..... do you remember the summer of 2005? Ah yes, it was one week in early June wasn't it?

Summer does amazing things to a school. Don't get me wrong, we always using our outside areas - playtime, PE etc. heck the nursery and foundation stage spend a chunk of time outside everyday rain, shine or snow! But yesterday everyone was outside - year 3 science about shadows, year 4 PE, mother's and toddler's group outside all day. I took the opportunity to take my class to the field before lunch - we sat on the grass under one of the huge oak trees and had storytime. The children lay on the grass or sat against the tree trunk with me, I read 4 chapters of the Owl who was Afraid of the Dark. No-one wanted to leave the spot and go to lunch - blissful!! Think of us today just before lunch - we'll be back there!

Question - what do you like to do on sunny days?
