Congratulations to our award winners this month, we are so proud of your achievements.

P2/1 and P7/6 have been developing collaboration skills with parachute games this month. It took a lot of cooperation and teamwork but this week we achieved our goal of a “walking turtle!” This requires everyone to work in sync to create a floating dome that stays inflated while children move as one from inside.

P3/2 enjoyed becoming electricians for the afternoon, constructing circuits and experimenting with a variety of components to see how each one contributed to the circuit.

P1-4 had summer vibes this week! Three classes worked together, using our food technology skills to make healthy ice cream from frozen fruit and cocoa powder.
Children also designed menus for their own ice cream shop, used their talking and listening skills to complete orders correctly in a digital Ice Cream Parlour, and used their knowledge of symmetry to finish ice cream designs.

This week P2/1 were inspired by two of our favourite things – pop up books and dinosaurs! Children made hatching dinosaur puppets inspired by Rob Biddulph, and learned how to make their cute creations move by selecting the right parts of the model to stick together, leaving other areas free to move. It was a very fiddly job that helped strengthen little hands, but the children agreed it was well worth the effort.
