Trip to Whipsnade Zoo

On November 14th, Rabbits, Squirrels and Badgers visited Whipsnade Zoo as the ‘Marvellous Middle’ to our Africa work. The children had a fantastic day, and they saw many different African animals they have learnt about in the classroom. We also had time to visit some non-African animals, such as the tigers and Asian elephants, and the children were fascinated to see how fast some of the animals moved.
We all had a great day!

Harvest Competiton

During the Summer term, Bedford’s Harpur Centre contacted Cotton End Primary School and invited us to participate in a Harvest Competition. They sent us seeds, which we planted and looked after over the summer.

On Friday 27th September, three children from Badgers and Mrs Robinson travelled to the Harpur Centre, where we showcased our produce (and got a behind the scenes tour of the shopping centre!). We were delighted to come second in the competition, and we won some Harvest goods for our own Harvest Festival as well as a certificate and rosette which are now proudly hanging in the School Hall.

Well done to everyone involved!

We had a great day and we are proud to have the paintings Korky created hanging in our hall.
