On Tuesday 8th October we held our Lockerbie assembly. Since we returned from Lockerbie we have thought and written about our experience there and what we have learnt from our trip away. We shared our memories (and lots of photographs!) with our families and the rest of the school and then we had…

We have been studying the Jabberwocky poem by Lewis Carroll and discussing the moods that the poem creates. Today we used two primary colours and mixed them to create lots of different shades of colour. We then used paper collages to depict the fantasy characters in the poem: the Bandersnatch, the…

We had a great time on a World Book Day - dressing up, decorating potatoes and enjoying a book character trail with our buddies all around the school.

Today we started our playleader training with Scott and Greg. We learnt how to do a warm-up session and soon, if we pass the young leader award, we will be helping to organise and run games with the infants at lunchtimes. Look out for us soon on a playground near…
