They have been demonstrating lots of independence and have used their growth […]
Year Three had a very creative day yesterday. They created Stone Age cave art using pigments and water to add colour, just like the original cave artists would have done. Then they used the technique of mono printing to add their design. We are so impressed with their final art work!
On Wednesday, some members of Year Three were invited to explore the Caudwell Children’s Centre in Keele. They took part in lots of crafty activities and took part in a scavenger hunt in the sensory garden.

The children have been learning about centimetres and metres and were challenged to measure the lines on the playground. They even had a go at measuring each other! All the staff were impressed with how accurate they were able […]

To help understand, they role played fetching the water from the river whilst enduring scenarios such […]
