We had a brilliant journey to Kilvrough Manor, had lunch in the sunshine, and this evening, orienteering in the rain. The children all ate well during the evening meal and enjoyed a Halloween Hunt before going to their rooms to get ready for bed. There is a lot of excitement about activities tomorrow.
Across the school we have been celebrating Diwali. There were lots of exciting things going on in different classrooms including arts and crafts, Rangoli patterns, cookery and dance workshops.
Here are some photos from Year 2.
When you visit our classrooms, you will see that our wall displays are essential parts of the classroom learning environment. We call them working walls and their job is to show all of the key learning from each topic. Children are encouraged to "visit the working wall" when they are working independently to be reminded of what has been discussed in class.
Here is an example of an English working wall from Year 56 who have been doing a unit based around the book There's a boy in the girl's bathroom. The children have worked so hard on this and have produced some fantastic advice letters.
The children have absolutely loved having a go on the new play equipment this week. We have set up a rota which allows every year group a go at different times of the week.
The PTA officially opened the new zone after school today - a HUGE thank you to them for all their fundraising efforts that paid for this.
Here are some of them enjoying themselves.
