This week in outdoor adventures, we used our imagination and pretended to be spies. We navigated different spaces to dodge the lasers. 

We truly could not be prouder of our fabulous children! All the singers represented our school with amazing, positive attitudes and we had an absolute ball! Their hard work and dedication in preparing for the concert just leaves me in awe of each and every one of them! Well done my lovely…

We have been learning about Henri Rousseau in Year 1. This week we experimented using differing surfaces to collage a picture. We had some very creative results. Well done year 1S. 
 

We had a wonderful day observing the animals at Blackpool Zoo. We were able to use our newly learnt vocabulary of herbivore, carnivore and omnivore as well as finding animals that were mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians!

2S have been exploring colour mixing and have used their new skills to create some silhouette pictures. We are really impressed with how amazing they all look. Here is just one example.
