Lunar New Year

In our whole school assembly on Monday, we learnt about the Lunar New Year and the traditions and celebrations associated with it. During the week, each class has been taking part in activities to highlight the importance of Lunar New Year around the world. Thank you to all the children and families who contributed to making it extra special. 

 

 

Ancient Greek Day

On Tuesday it was Ancient Greek day in Year 5! The costumes were simply brilliant, so a big well done to all who dressed up (and their parents and carers of course!). We started the day learning about Greek fables and myths, creating our own comic strip and performing scenes from our favourite myths. We then investigated the Ancient Olympics and had a go ourselves in the playground. After lunch we painted our own Greek pots, which turned out amazingly! All the Y5s can be so proud of the enthusiasm and creativity they demonstrated today, well done! For more pictures, check out the school Instagram account.  

Watercress Farm Visit

On Thursday, Mulberry Class enjoyed their second visit to Watercress farm in Wraxall. The sun was shining for our meadow walk and we enjoyed popcorn and pancakes cooked on the bonfire. We even saw the resident ponies and cows! We had a great day connecting with nature and are already looking forward to our third visit in the summer.
