After school Gardening Club
This evening we learnt all about what type of bugs lived in and around our outdoor provision. We had a lot of fun finding giant worms, slimy slugs and massive spiders. We found out that we are more likely to find spiders where spider webs are and slug/worms underneath objects that have been in one place for a long time.
It was amazing to see everyone so enthusiastic and their light shining so brightly.
After school Construction Club
This evening, we had some special visitors who attended our club. These special visitors were robots that we had constructed. They were walking and talking for the whole session as robots while visiting every member of staff. It was amazing to see the awesome role play and getting into character.
We also had some amazing princess castles and holiday resorts that had a swimming pool for everyone to swim in.

FARMER TIME
This year we have an exciting new opportunity for the children at St Nicholas Academy!
We will be having fortnightly video calls between a real farmer and ourselves. Bringing the countryside to life.
Farmer Time is all about harnessing the power of digital communications to inspire, engage and educate young people about not only the journey from farm to fork but also the everchanging, diverse agricultural industry. Children regularly chat live to their matched farmer from their classrooms through FaceTime or Skype, discuss ideas, ask questions, share knowledge and gain a ‘real-time’ understanding of the issues farmers face every day.
