• Working with a local artist

  Tue 25 Jan 2022 Mrs Howell

  We are really lucky to be starting a project working with Lise Bennett, who is a local artist. Each class will have an introductory session over the next two weeks. Yesterday Class Two began with making a breathing stick with beads, thought about the surroundings using senses creating chalk drawings on the playground and looked at Alexander Calder portraits with different emotions. It was a super afternoon and we look forward to working with Lise again very soon.

• Trip to Creswell Craggs - Class 2

  Thu 25 Nov 2021

  Class 2 had an amazing time learning about life in Stone Age times at Creswell Craggs.  They developed their Stone Age survival skills, investigated skeletons of Stone Age animals and explored the caves that Stone Age bones were discovered in.

  

• Anti bullying Week

  Wed 24 Nov 2021 Mrs Howell

  Anti bullying Week 2021

   

  The theme for this year has been One Kind Word. Everyone discussed how nice it is to have someone say something kind to us. As part of their learning, the children in each class made a Anti bullying leaflet that would be available to them if they needed it. It uses their contributions to describe what bullying is, what they can do and what the adults in school will do to help. 

   

  Copies of the leaflets are available by following this link
