Receptions new topic is “What are celebrations?”

And there are so many celebrations happening at the moment for us to learn about! We did lots of exciting activities to celebrate firework and bonfire night as well as Diwali!  We learnt the story of Rama and Sita, made Diya lamps out of playdoh and made colourful firework paintings.   Have a look at the photo, do you like our rangoli pattern?
This week we have made Poppies to wear for Remembrance Day, it really put our cutting skills to the test!

Y6 Tea Dance

Year 6 had a wonderful time at their Tea Dance this week.  All children performed their version of a Charleston Dance, recited a World War II poem and took part in the running of the event. We would like to thank everyone who came and manage to raise £62.95 for the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal 2023.

Volcanoes!

The children in Year 4 had a fantastic finale to their Geography topic about natural disasters and weather patterns. We investigated the volcanic process and creating an example of how the eruption takes place.
We are looking forward to our new topic starting in Autumn 2.
