What a wonderful last week to the half term. The sun has been shining and our pupils have been enjoying their learning based around nature in our topic Enchanted Woodland. They have been learning about verbs through ‘The Squirrels who Squabbled’ and others have enjoyed a sensory story of ‘The Owl and the Pussycat’. Pupils have made fairy houses out of natural materials and Cardinal have made forest habitats in shoeboxes. Pupils have also been learning about their own bodies and how to take care of them in RSE. We had a lovely Topic assembly about cultural diversity and today have celebrated how there can be all types of different families in our celebration assembly. We’ve had a lot of birthdays this week and have enjoyed all the delicious cake that has been shared.
