Year 6's Exploration to the Science Museum

Year 6 pupils had a phenomenal time at the Science Museum this week! The children were captivated by the 3D IMAX documentary about Antarctica, which offered a stunning and immersive glimpse into this fascinating continent. Afterwards, they thoroughly enjoyed exploring the museum's many exhibits, delving deeper into the wonders of science and technology. This enriching experience provided a valuable opportunity to extend their learning beyond the classroom walls and ignite their curiosity about the world around them.

Nursery Rhyme Workshop Comes to Reception

This week, our Reception classes explored the world of nursery rhymes and stories through a vibrant nursery rhyme workshop, where our young learners had the opportunity to immerse themselves in the magic of these timeless classics. Excitedly, they sang along to beloved melodies and even had the chance to explore their musical talents using drums and other instruments. We are proud of our Reception children and their eagerness to embrace learning through play and exploration.
