What a wonderful morning we had with our grown-ups! We played games, we made fruit kebabs, we worked collaboratively on a fruit collage, we made fruit masks, we did some really neat colouring. All of us had such a lovely time learning and growing together. Special thanks to the grown-ups who could make it and well done to all the children for showing our grown-ups how we work hard, get smart and be kind.
A very big thank you

ROCK AND POP BAND LESSONS
In-school rock and pop band lessons with Rocksteady!
It’s been fantastic to see the children having so much fun rocking out in their bands and learning new musical skills.
If your child wants to take part, visit rocksteadymusicschool.com to check available spaces.
F2 loved Rock Steady
I think a lot of our children were inspired by this mornings rock and music assembly. Our children continued the rock and roll by creating their own band and musical instruments out on the playground. Look out for more information on how your child can sign up to learn musical instruments and be apart of a band. #LovePlover
Fruit Tasting
In expedition this afternoon we were comparing two different fruits. I’ve never seen so much excitement over a watermelon before! We learned that fruits have seeds and vegetables grow from roots and have leaves. Some of the language the children used to describe the pineapple and watermelon were “tangy, sweet, sour, soft, juicy, yummy”. #LovePlover

Rock Steady!
KS1 were visited by Tim from RockSteady today. He showed us all of the exciting instruments we can learn if we sign up to some music lessons. We drummed along, sang and played our air guitars! We had a great time and even made our own band by the end of the session. We had great fun and we’re really keen to start learning instruments. You never know, we could be having our own performances by the end of the year! Please check out the letter for details!
