Art Gallery

25th May 2022a hayward

This week we have had our hall transformed into the most amazing Art Gallery.

Every child contributed two pieces to the collection, consisting of a 2D creation and a 3D creation. I think we can all agree that the children have excelled themselves and should be very proud.

Thank you to all of the parents and family who came to share our children’s wonderful work.

Here is Under the Sea by our EYFS pupils, signed in British Sign Language:

“I visited your Art Gallery and was so impressed with the work the children had produced. The video of Early Years really made me smile, and it was a lovely experience to watch it underneath the tentacles of the jellyfish. I absolutely loved the Lilies by Year 5, they were so impactful. And Year 2’s designer plates would grace any table! Well done to all of the children for their hard work, and to the staff for putting on such a lovely display.” Amanda Hayward (Governor)

Here are some photographs of the event:

EYFS Helps Souter Lighthouse

20th May 2022M Hanratty

The EYFS  children heard that Souter Lighthouse needed some help. With the weather becoming sunnier, they were I need need of some books for families to enjoy while visiting.  As the children love reading so much, we knew we had to walk straight down with a selection of books.

We even managed a sneaky visit to Laura’s park on the way home! ☺️

🦀Under the Sea Writing🐬

9th May 2022M Hanratty

Nursery love to explore different ways to make marks and explore writing. Last week, we danced away to Under the Sea using our flipper flappers to make circles and lines in the air. We then transferred these skills to paper before making our own octopus!
Then we continued the fun by making marks in shaving foam.

EYFS Mother’s Day Assembly

24th March 2022M Hanratty

EYFS shared a very emotional Mother’s Day Assembly with Mams, Grandmas and lots of other special people in our lives. What made our assembly even more special was the fact that the children wrote the script themselves so the messages were very heart-warming and personal.

The staff couldn’t be any prouder of our amazing children!
