We had some great art work shared with us by Year 1 this week. They had been looking at the work of many artists including Monet, Kandinsky, Seurat, Hundertwasser to express themselves. Their work was excellent and linked in beautifully with their Unit of Inquiry People express themselves through art and sculpture.
Year 6 have completed First Aid training as part of their WOW lesson this week. They are all now qualified First Aiders. They looked at things such as choking, bone injuries, bleeding, calling for help and being calm when accidents occur. To become a qualified First Aider at such a young age is a great achievement. The certificate lasts for 2 years.
Kindergarten and Reception went to the Arts Depot on Wednesday afternoon to see We are going on a Bear Hunt. They had a great time and behaved very well.
Year 5 have been working on their persuasive texts in the last few weeks and they have persuaded us that it would be a good idea to have a Christmas Jumper Day on Friday, 16th December. The Christmas Jumper Day is linked to the Charity Save the Children and is a national event raising money for children's causes around the world http://www.savethechildren.org.uk/ - All staff and students are asked to wear a Christmas jumper and give a donation on that day.
