Published 14/10/22Following our whole school assembly learning about World Mental Health Day, we explored pages from the book, 'The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse' by Charlie Macksey. We then talked about ways to remind others that they are wonderful and loved, just like this book does, so we decided to make mini happiness cards and distribute them to everyone in our school.
The children created some beautiful messages to support kindness and wellbeing.

Published 14/10/22Over the past few weeks, Amazon Class have been enjoying their topic, 'Castles, Knights and Dragons'. We've been learning about the different ideas about dragons in different parts of the world.

Published 14/10/22In Amazon Class, we've been having lots of fun learning about Motte and Bailey castles from the Medieval Times, working together to make our very own Motte and Bailey castles. The children thought carefully about how to make the motte to keep the castle safe, high up on a mound, and how to construct the high fence around the bailey. I was so impressed with their teamwork, but also the super castles constructed!
