Neurodiversity Celebration Week Y6

Neurodiversity Celebration Week aims to bring about worldwide neurodiversity acceptance, equality and inclusion in schools and workplaces. In Y6, we spoke about what people who have neurodiversity may find difficult. We also talked about how best to support children in our classroom. We discussed how all our brains are different and we all have strengths, things we find more difficult and preferences to learning.

Reception Trip Park Hall Farm

Reception had an unforgettable adventure at the farm today. From the moment we arrived, the children were very excited, and the animals didn’t disappoint.

🐑 Meeting the Sheep
The children loved getting up close to the sheep, learning about their woolly coats and watching them graze. There were lots of curious little hands eager to give them a gentle stroke.

🐴 A Visit with the Pony
Next, we met a friendly pony

who quickly became a class favourite. The children were fascinated by his shiny mane and enjoyed learning how ponies are cared for on the farm.

🐇 Saying Hello to the Rabbits
The rabbits were a huge hit too. Soft, fluffy, and incredibly cute, they had everyone smiling. The children were delighted to see them hopping around and nibbling on their snacks.

🐖 The Grand Pig Race Finale
We ended the day with the much‑anticipated pig race. The excitement was sky‑high as the pigs trotted down the track. In a thrilling finish, the green pig dashed ahead and claimed victory, much to the children’s delight.

It was a day full of learning, laughter, and memorable moments. Reception can’t wait for their next adventure!

France Residential Year 6

Year 6 have had a fantastic 4 days in France. We have had a very cultured visit, sight seeing around Amiens, Montdidier and Pierrefonds. The children have also been practicing their French skills, visiting shops and bakeries around the town. We were really impressed with how the children immersed themselves into the French culture – trying new things (including frog’s legs and snails) and expanding their language skills. A hugely enjoyable visit that we look forward to hosting again next year.

Healthy Snacks in Year 2.

As part of our PSHE unit ‘Healthy Me’, Year 2 have been looking at different ways to have a healthy body and mind. Today, we looked at how we can create healthy snacks and why they are important. We decided that they were important because they have lots of vitamins in them that help to keep us healthy and strong!

Our teachers asked us to create healthy snacks at home and bring them into school to try! It was wonderful to see the variety of snacks that were made! From fruit kebabs, fruit salad, blueberry oat cookies, raspberry and strawberry muffins, banana loaf to rice cakes with hummus and so much more!! They were delicious!!

Here are some pictures of us making our snacks and of course, tasting them!!

As part of our ‘Paws, Claws and Whiskers’ topic we have been learning all about animal classification. We visited Exotic Zoo and had the opportunity to hold a mammal, bird, amphibian and reptile. The children loved the day and were surprised at how soft the skunk was!

🌿 Reception Update: Food Tasting & Forest School Adventures! 🐦

Reception have had a busy and exciting time recently!

The children took part in a tasting session for our new school menu, where they had the opportunity to try a range of different foods. Everyone was very brave and gave the new dishes a go, sharing their thoughts about what they liked best. It was wonderful to see the children exploring new flavours and talking about healthy choices.

 

Reception also enjoyed their Forest School session with Amanda. The children explored the outdoor area while learning about birds and their habitats. They looked closely at different types of birds and then worked together to create their own bird nests using natural materials they found around the forest area.

It was a fantastic session full of creativity, teamwork, and outdoor discovery. Well done, Reception!

EKO Art Project Y6

At the beginning of the year, Y6 had the opportunity to visit Weston Park for a day working with EKO (Educating Kids Outdoors) as part of a creative arts project in connection with the Rose Patterson art gallery. The funding obtained from the Telford and Wrekin arts society allowed 5 schools to have this opportunity, and we were lucky enough to be chosen.

We spent the day making sculptures inspired by Salvador Dali’s paintings of dream-like elephants. We looked at the local bird life in Telford and then made our own sculptures in the abstract style of Dali, which were then displayed as part of the Rose Patterson Art Gallery ‘Halls Young Artist’ competition (on exhibition at Weston Park). There were 240 birds altogether that have delighted many members of the public since their creation! Well done to all involved in this project!
