🕌🎨 "Did you know that geometric patterns and colours are significant in Islamic tradition? They are used as tools for spiritual reflection rather than mere decoration. In our RE lesson, we designed our own prayer mats using carefully selected colours and patterns. The colour red reflects life, vitality and energy. Can you tell the significance of green, blue and gold? The children created some beautiful and thoughtful designs while learning about the meaning behind Islamic art and symbolism." ~ Mrs Simmons

🌿🎨 "Year 4 Holly had a wonderful time at our first session with The Garden Classroom this week! The children created leaf rubbings, made nature-inspired art, built forts and even whipped up some very delicious-looking mud stews." ~ Miss Masi

🎭📖 "In our Literacy lesson, we used actions to show how characters are feeling through `Show, Not Tell`. Pupils in Year 3 Elder used drama to bring emotions to life. Can you tell how these pupils are feeling based on their actions? Who is angry? Who is worried or scared? Can you spot the exhausted child? You certainly can`t miss the excited one! Well done if you guessed correctly!" ~ Mrs Simmons

🎨🧱 "In Ash Class, we explored the work of artist Mike Kelley, who worked with clay as a creative medium. The children learned about clay, including where it comes from and how it is used. They then had the opportunity to freely explore and manipulate the clay, creating a variety of shapes and forms.
Through this hands-on experience, the children developed their creative expression, communication, and problem-solving skills while gaining an understanding of both two-dimensional and three-dimensional forms. They enjoyed experimenting with different techniques, sharing their ideas with others, and expressing their own unique creativity. Fun was had by all!" ~ Miss Pru

📸😂 "As a reward for all their hard efforts, Acacia Class got to play a game called `Don`t Be in the Picture!`. I took photos with my eyes closed and managed to capture some absolutely hilarious snaps in the process!" ~ Mr Mathewson

🎶🌍 "As part of our RE lessons, Year 5 is learning about Alevis. One of our students is learning how to play the Saz, a traditional Turkish instrument that is played at the Cemevi and is often accompanied by the Semah, a symbolic dance. How amazing!" ~ Mrs Posada

🍓🐝 "This term in Literacy, Walnut Class have been learning about instructions. As part of our learning, we made a fruit salad and discussed how bees play an important role in pollinating the fruits we used. It was a fantastic way to combine our literacy learning with understanding the world around us!" ~ Miss Zeenat

🔢✨ "Oak Class have been exploring doubles by using objects to create doubles patterns and describe what they could see. We talked about how doubles are made from two equal groups and enjoyed spotting patterns in the numbers as we worked. The children showed great enthusiasm and mathematical thinking throughout the lesson!" ~ Miss Duygu

🌳🏕️ "Year 4 Hazel class took part in their first Forest School session this week. Although it rained for the entire two-hour session, that didn`t stop us from having lots of fun! The children enjoyed making mud soup, experimenting with mint leaves, playing team games, and learning how to say goodbye in different languages. It was a fantastic start to our Forest School adventures!" ~ Miss Marsh

😲🍅 "To kick-start our new literacy topic on character traits, the children walked into the classroom to discover this ketchup mess! What a shock! There were lots of suspicions about who could have carried out this naughty prank, and plenty of discussion as the children began exploring different character traits." ~ Miss Antonia
