On Friday 2nd December, Bramble Clan presented their own connects all about ‘The Bramble Brain Lab.’ The pupils created a fantastic performance sharing their knowledge of the different parts of the brain, what our brain helps our bodies do and how our brain can grow so we can learn new things.

Bluebell Clan Connects- 09.12.22

On Friday 9th December, Bluebell presented their own clan connects all about the narrative writing they had been learning about in their clan. Bluebell acted out the story of Cinderella and then shared how they took the plot of this story to recreate their own versions. The pupils shared the different writing techniques they had learned so they could create their own books. We were so impressed by their fantastic acting, singing and understanding of stories. The pupils finished their connects with an amazing song that inspired the audience that life really is your own story. Well done Bluebell Clan!
