Good clean fun
Our soap flakes tray has been very popular today. The children used scrapers to push and pull the soapy mixture, noticing the bubbles that they formed. One of the children saw that he could form a bubble between his fingers and thumbs and he showed everyone how to do it.
Final INSET Day of the Year…
Dear Parents/Carers,
We have just finalised the last INSET day for this academic year. These are days when the school is closed to learners, to allow us to access training for our staff. This will be taken on Monday 7th June, which is the first day of next half term.
We will write to parents again nearer the date, but we wanted to give the community as much of an advance warning as possible.
* nb – This has changed today from Friday 28th May – apologies if anyone saw the earlier announcement *
Spontaneous drawings
This afternoon the children initiated using the giant rainbow chalks to draw around each other. This activity included lots of naming body parts and talking about their size. Later on lots of children really enjoyed large scale mark making inside our cardboard hideout.
Equiano – Reheaded!
At the end of term, we shared the news of the vandalism of the statue in Telegraph Hill park of the anti-slavery campaigner, Equiano. On the very last day of term, we also heard that the missing head of the statue had been relocated. We headed off into the Easter break feeling that we had at least the parts of puzzle, if not the solution.
Then, during the break, on the grapevine, we heard that the head and body were being reunited. This ‘reheading’ was attended by members of the local community and both the current Edmund Waller headteacher, Anne Rennie, and the headteacher at the time of the statue’s creation, Graham Jameson.
Welcome Back!
Happy Monday! The sun is out and the classrooms are full once again. Welcome back to all our learners to the final term of the academic year.
We trust you all had a restful break and found some time to enjoy the sunshine and gradual easing of the national restrictions.
We are looking forward (fingers crossed) to an uninterrupted term of learning. Keep your eyes on the blog for updates for each year group.
Exciting eggs
For our learning about Easter, we found out all about eggs and how to crack them. We counted the eggs, explored their hard shell and their yellow yolk and then we had a go at cracking the eggs. It was quite messy but lots of fun and then we scrambled them to cook them.
