Picture in the News
In ‘Picture in the News’ the children thought about clapping, after the clapping for the Heroes. Can you think of a time when people clapped for you? The children reflected on their experiences and the special colours, things and people which makes them. They completed jigsaw puzzles to represent this. Each puzzle piece, each of…
Leaves and Sticks – Exploring Nature
Outdoor play fosters children’s intellectual, emotional, social and physical development. And by being outside and surrounded by nature, children experience an ever-changing and free-flowing environment that stimulates all the senses. To encourage Reception and Year One to explore nature this week they explored using twigs and leaves to create pictures and other things like a…
Old socks make great puppets!
Lower School had fun creating their own sock puppets. Sometimes the simple ideas are the best ones. Puppetry is a wonderful skill to develop. Puppetry is a fun and exciting way for the children to learn about storytelling and performance.
Skills for life in Drama
For drama the Upper School children were reciting monologues – a difficult skill. Reciting monologues is an important skill for the children to include in their acting toolbox. By practising monologues, they will develop their speech, communication and presentation skills. They are encouraged to express themselves both verbally using different voices and tones, and through facial expressions and…
Creative artwork by printing
For art the children have been experimenting with different items to create print paintings and pictures. The children have created some super artwork by printing. Can you identify the different items found around the house to produce these paintings? Admire the playful, bright and exciting artwork.

At school there were activities with tennis balls, netballs and footballs ending up with a great football match. At home children performed skills with body balls, beach balls, ping pong balls, rugby balls…
Twister with a twist!!
We all enjoy silly games – twister being one. Across the school the children have added a twist of fun to this traditional game by designing their own version. Will these games tie you or fingers up into knots? Give the spinner a whirl and see what is next? Right finger red! Left ginger green. These twister games will challenge you.
Rainbow Challenge – Happy YOU Year!
This week across the school the children thought about how they can make 2021 a ‘Happy YOU Year’. They discussed this in their form time on Friday. They listed all the things that will help each of them be the ‘BEST YOU’ they can be in 2021. One mentioned was ‘doing all my chores’. I…

The children were challenged to use any type of wheels to exercise for 10 minutes at least 3 days over the week. We had bikes, scooters, skates, skateboards, cycling in the air and even remote…
