This week, Nightingale class enjoyed sharing their completed diary entries inspired by My Two Blankets by Irene Kobald. The children took part in peer editing, focusing on giving kind, helpful feedback and celebrating each other’s writing. It was wonderful to see them listening carefully, sharing positive comments and recognising the fantastic efforts of their classmates!

    Week Commencing 21st September
    This term our P.E. lessons have been all about team building. This week our challenge was to get our whole team across the field using only 4 hoops.  The children developed their communication skills, balance and co-ordination and resilience.

    Week Commencing 14th September.
    We enjoyed getting outside during our science learning, to find the difference between OBJECTS and MATERIALS.
