Greetings from Year 5 and 6! In honor of St.Patrick’s day, held on March 17th, Mr.Sam and Ms.Alice have conducted a range of delightfully Irish activities with their students. We have had the best time these last few days and students got really involved and enjoyed themselves! In Year 5, Ms.Alice’s students got in touch with the Celtic origins of St.Patrick’s  Day and tried their hand at designing Celtic knots by plotting coordinates a selection…

This morning Year 3 made Cacio e Pepe while practicing using sequencing words (first, next, then, and last) so we can incorporate them in into our writing.  We measured our Parmesan cheese, cracked our own pepper, and garnished our own pasta before eating Bon Appetit!

They had the opportunity to explore science activities by themselves and find out how they worked. They had activities including electricity, water, space, speed and geography. The learners had a demonstration of illusions and even had the chance to create their own illusion with a picture and stick. 

Year 1 and 2 celebrated Valentines day throughout the week. The learners did different art activities, as well as learning what makes a good valentine. We asked and answered different questions about character and kindness. The learners then wrote to one of their classmates, a letter about what makes them good valentines. 

The park has different experiences, as well as jobs. The learners have to be aware that they can run out of money and need to work wisely.  We had to remind learners about this when they wanted to do an activity where they had to pay and they had run out of money. They then needed to work out how many jobs they needed to do to be able to make the money they needed. 

Year 5 have shared their love and appreciation by writing inspiring messages and so many marvellous comments to their peers and teachers. They amaze us everyday with their wit and kindness.
