🐹🌿 Animal Care Club! 🌿🐹
Our Animal Care Club has been busy looking after two very important members of the Huntingdon family – Bob and Timothy – our school guinea pigs!
The children are learning how to care for them properly, including feeding them, keeping their home clean and making sure they have plenty of love and attention.
A lovely way to develop responsibility, kindness and care for animals – and Bob and Timothy certainly aren’t complaining! 🥕🐹

📸 Photography Club is in full focus! 📸
Our budding photographers have been busy learning some fantastic new skills! Today, the children explored positive and negative space, practised taking high and low-angle shots, and experimented with framing their photographs. ✨
We loved seeing their creativity shine through as they began looking at the world from a photographer’s point of view! 👀📷
