Visitors to school to enrich our curriculum

RE

The whole school took part in RE sessions held by Christchurch this week to enhance their understanding of Easter and Holy Week. The children loved the hands on learning and were really able to show their understanding through their questioning and the activities they took part in.

Maple

Maple Class is blooming with all things spring. We have started to explore books and activities around new life and had the amazing opportunity to be part of a Palm Sunday workshop. We used role play, crafting skills and our dance moves to understand the story of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. We have also used parts of nature to create weather symbols, paying particular attention to weather that is typical for the season.

Rowan

This week Rowan class had their Listen 2 Me concert to parents. Over the past term they have been learning to play four different notes and twelve different songs off by heart. They achieved an excellent performance and impressed everyone in the audience. They showed their keys to success over the term in their resilience and persistence to learn to play to such a high standard. We are very proud of them. 

Sycamore

Sycamore Class had a brilliant visit all about the River Itchen, in preparation for our trip next week. We will be going into Winchester to work out how healthy the River Itchen is. During the visit this week, we had to remember about the water cycle and apply everything we had learnt about the course of a river, from the source to the mouth. We also learned about the habitats near the river and who uses the river and why. 

Aspen

This week on DT the children learnt all about different vegetables, how to cut them and even had a taste! There were some mixed opinions but everyone tried something new!
