This week saw the return of Governor Day. It was even more exciting for the children as the Chair and Vice Chair gave an assembly about the governing body role and how they help the school.
This week the children had a fantastic opportunity to take part in R.E workshops based around the Indian festival of colour, ‘Holi’. Kalpesh from K’z Dance Entertainment Ltd taught all the children some traditional Indian dances and discussed with them the meaning of the Holi festival. At the end of the day the whole school came together and performed the dances taught earlier in the day, the children and staff had some wonderful moves! At the end of the performance everyone took part in throwing colourful dyes at one another to celebrate Holi, just like it is carried out in India.
This week in Year 1 we have been working hard to half both objects and quantities. We figured out that if we halved something it meant that we shared it between one other equally. We halved shapes, numbers of counters and sandwiches! We even ate both halves, I wonder what fraction that would make?
In 1 Blue we have been learning how shadows are formed. We worked in pairs to make shadows with our hands. We moved the light source around to experiment what happens when the light is shining from different places and distances.
We helped the Queen celebrate her Platinum Jubilee, it was so much fun!
Thank you to everyone who attended our Jubilee Coffee morning today, it was an amazing success and lovely to see parents back in school again. It was also great to see the art produced by the children as well as a special performance from Year 6.
Have a look at the amazing art from across the school.
