Year 5 and 6 have been exploring themes from Alice in Wonderland in English. This week, Y5 looked at the poem the Jabbawocky and created their own monster poem.

It is great to see the children working hard to improve their handwriting throughout the school.

Reception create artwork inspired by Impressionist artists.

In PE this week, Kestrels were focussing on their football dribbling skills. They showed great control as they made their way around the playground trying to dribble the ball through as many cone goals as they could to earn points. If they hit the goal, their score went back to zero!

Kingfishers practise their Français!

This week in PSHE, Merlins were learning about all the different jobs that they could aspire to have when they grow up. We began the lesson by discussing all the job titles they knew, and then we began to think how much value people contribute to society based on the jobs they have. They then had an opportunity to match the starting salaries of these jobs to the corresponding profession. We had a very honest and insightful discussion about whether salary aligns with value to society and whether money should be the driving force for job aspiration. The children spoke eloquently about how they felt some jobs deserved a high salary and how it is passion for what you do that should override a desire for wealth.
