• Theme Week Exhibition

  Tue 28 Feb 2017

  On Tuesday afternoon, there was an opportunity for parents to see some of the theme week work. Each class presented a selection of work about their explorers and it was lovely to see the range of work on view. There had been plenty of opportunities for the children to use their creativity and to work collaboratively. Reception's model of The Endeavour took centre stage but every class had something interesting to show. The event was well attended, thank you to all those parents who came along.

  More work can be seen on the Class Pages.

• Explorers Theme Week

  Sat 25 Feb 2017

  We have just finished our fantastic Explorers theme week, where every class has been finding out about explorers from the near and distant past. They range from Drake, Cook and the Antarctic explorers to space explorers and Jacques Cousteau. The week has given everyone the opportunity to be creative and children have been encouraged to take a lead in their own learning. There have been opportunities for collaborative working and child initiated activities throughout the school.

  More photos and work will be posted on the class pages.

  There will be an exhibition of work on Tuesday 28th from 2.45 -3.30, in the hall. Please come along and view the amazing work the children have produced this week.
