📚Reading Collaboration📚

It was lovely to see our Year 6 and Year 2 children come together this week for a reading collaboration!

Year 6 pupils were fantastic role models, supporting the younger children by asking insightful questions and checking their understanding.

It was lovely to see them demonstrating such patience, encouragement and a real love of reading!

💻Year 6 Computing💻

This week our Year 6 pupils have been getting creative in computing! Working collaboratively in pairs, they have been designing their very own futuristic computers.

The children have been using their imaginations to think about what technology might look like in the future, considering features, functions and designs. They have worked brilliantly together sharing ideas and justifying their design choices!

👖Jeans for Genes👖

Today, children came into school in denim to support Jeans for Genes day and help raise awareness of children and families living with genetic disorders.

In Year 6, the children took the opportunity to learn more about why the day is important. They reflected on the challenges that genetic disorders can bring and discussed the importance of respecting, including and celebrating everyone, recognising that we are all unique!

It was wonderful to see our children showing kindness, empathy and understanding while learning about an important cause!

🏛️ Year 6 had a great time on their Ancient Greece Hook Day! 🏛️

We were able to look at some Greek pottery and understand why the artists chose their images. The children were really able to show off their artistic abilities this morning when designing their own Greek vases!

In the afternoon, we spent some time looking at different stories and legends and had some time acting them out outside!
