This week is Mental Health Awareness Week and the theme is MOVEMENT! 🕺 We’ve shared an assembly and thought about lots of different things that help our mental health – the children were INCREDIBLE at coming up with so many ideas about how to looks after themselves and others and many of them linked to…
KS1 have been inspired by the Halle Orchestra from Manchester 🎻 They came to share stories with us that were accompanied by music – the viola, violin, cello, drum, cymbal and glockenspiel 🎵 We heard about what happened after Jack left the beanstalk and when the three bears and Goldilocks became friends 👧 We all learned…

The class were in tune this week as they practised their classical chords in music. It was lovely to observe them working collaboratively together and offering each other advice.

This week we have been learning about shapes, we have been searching for shapes in the environment, sorting shapes and talking about their properties and using shapes to create different types of transport. Fantastic work Nursery!

As we move forward this week, we will explore drawing precise angles of our own using a protractor.
We’ve completed our Design and Technology unit by adding leavers to set our houses alight like in London in 1666! 🔥 We had to design the lever considering how it would move, create a list of things that we would need and then make and evaluate our work, thinking about how we could improve them…
