Hawaiian disco 🌸🌺🌼

7th July 2023Laura Godley

Fun was had by all (staff included!) at tonight’s Hawaiian themed disco. Everyone put on their grass skirts, flower garlands and beach wear to come and dance the evening away! The Conga was certainly in full swing 💃🕺🪩 The children had a great time and really put a lot of effort into their outfits. What a lovely evening 😊

Music Madness! 🎶🥁🎵🎹👂

6th July 2023Sophie Elmer

As part of our Case Study 3, linked to sound, we spent this afternoon in LKS2 exploring pitch and volume, creating different instrumental sounds, learning about how sounds are made and understanding the different parts of the ear that help us to hear. It was a very noisy afternoon (sorry Year 5!) but we learnt lots and also had a great amount of fun!

RE – Christianity

6th July 2023Ruth Shields

Today, we have been starting to explore Christianity and what would be important to families who are Christian.

We learned about the what the Bible is and even listening to a Bible story for children who weren’t familiar. One of the things we looked at was how their week may be different to that of a Christian and this is where we noticed that some children in our crew have very busy lives outside of school. However, we enjoyed hearing the things that each other’s families do as part of their family.

One of the main things we discussed was about how it’s important to respect the beliefs of others because we come from different backgrounds. In addition, we discussed how they are getting to an age where they can start to come to their own conclusions about what they believe and this may not always be the same as their friends.
