Year 4 visited Plymouth's waste management centre learning about the importance of reducing, reusing and recycling. They were able to look around the centre and discover how waste is separated, incinerated and turned into energy. #hayesvalues #discovery

At Forest School, the Nursery children and staff all enjoyed the woods as they explored the world around them, shared their learning and findings and worked together as a team. They built dens, camp fires, nests for the birds and found bugs on their hunt under logs and leaves. They had great fun on the mud slide and climbing the banks. A fantastic Forest School session using lots of skills and cooperation as a team. #hayesvalues #discovery #friendship

Under the glorious December sunshine, Reception had a wonderful time exploring the open space at forest school. We continued our maths learning into this environment by subitising and making number bonds to 5 with natural objects. We also made a nest for different birds in the wild and carefully placed some eggs in it to test it out. To help keep the birds well fed we made some delicious fat balls and stuck them onto the trees within the woods. Fantastic learning Reception! #hayesvalues #discovery

Here are some photos from Gorillas' day at Paignton Zoo as part of our rivers conservation topic. We of course visited our friends the Gorillas first to see our namesake, which we followed up with a fascinating talk by Matt about the crocodiles! Gorillas were set the challenge of identifying all those endangered species throughout our time in the zoo. The children demonstrated great empathy during the day. #hayesvalues #discovery

Year 5 had an amazing day at the zoo on Monday. We searched for rainforest animals and found many including poison dart frogs, hyacinth macaws and critically endangered spider monkeys. The children had a lesson from one of the specialists at the zoo. We learnt about threats to the rainforest as well as how animals are adapted to rainforest life. We even got to see a real tiger whisker! #hayesvalues #discovery

Reception were definitely full of 'awe and wonder' after their visit to Paignton Zoo. They loved learning about all the different animals and they were particularly taken by the Mandrill monkeys who loved interacting with the children. Thank you Paignton Zoo for a wonderful day! #hayesvalues #discovery

Our Reception children have investigated ways to make the staircase effect with multi link and cuisenaire. The children then represented the number block characters in their books. Fantastic ordering, children #hayesvalues #success

The Nursery children are enjoying the story of The Little Red Hen. We followed the recipe and looked at the ingredients that we need to make bread and had a little taste of each one. Then we added the ingredients to our bread machine. It takes 4 hours to bake. We really did enjoy the bread with butter very much. The smell of fresh bread filled our classroom all day. Yum. #hayesvalues #success

Year 3 had a fantastic time at Paignton Zoo this week. They saw lots of animals such as giraffes, gorillas and zebra. During their visit, they enjoyed an educational talk related to their topic of rivers this half term. Thankfully the weather wasn't too rainy while they were there! #hayesvalues #discovery
