Around The Classes

Whole School Changing Me

As part of our PSHE Jigsaw curriculum and now as a statutory requirement of all primary schools, each class have been completing sessions on how our bodies change as we grow up. Pre-Prep have been learning and recognising the differences between the male and female body parts and ensuring they know the right names without feeling embarrassed or anxious.

The Upper School have been concentrating on how the bodies change through puberty and into adulthood and some of the physical processes and emotional changes that take place. This open discussion and accessible learning is down to our experienced form tutors who make these tricky and sometimes awkward sessions informative and normal!

Here are Year 1 sorting body parts into a Venn diagram of whether they are gender specific or whether we all have them.

Grace Shares Her Royal Collection

Year 3 pupil Grace has an absolutely amazing collection of royal letters that she brought into school last week to share with her class. Grace has been writing to the Royal family since she was very little, wishing them Happy Birthday, congratulating them on their good news and most recently sending her condolences to Her Majesty the Queen on the loss of her husband, His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh. Each of her letters has received a Royal reply and Grace keeps them all together in a large folder of souvenirs.

It is a marvellous treasure for a little girl who is clearly a right royal fan! Thank you for sharing it with us Grace!

Year 6 Busy Filming - Talk About A Murder

Year 6 have been very busy this week filming their end of year production – Talk About A Murder. Written, produced and filmed by our very own Drama Teacher, Miss Thompson, the school hall was transformed into a film set for the cast and crew to record the different scenes. Our eager young actors have been in and out of their costumes and make-up as the filming progressed and the school has been a hive of activity with shouts of ‘Action’ echoing around the walls.

Here are a few 'sneaky' pictures from the filming - just click view gallery. We can’t wait to see the finished film!

Co-Curricular Outdoor Learning Fairy Treasure Chests

What a wonderful time we had in the forest this week! The resident fairy left us a gift, in the form of tiny boxes of raisins or Smarties. They tasted delicious and we all said thank you. To show how grateful we were, we used the empty boxes of treats as fairy treasure chests. We filled them with special items for the fairy. We used helicopter seeds for boomerangs and Alice hairbands, leaves for blankets and throws, feathers for pillows and sticks for magic wands amongst other things.
