Africa Day

Thank you to all the parents who came into school  for our Africa Celebration, especially those who helped with workshops and cooked delicious dishes to share. It was lovely to see the pride children took in sharing their cultures with their friends and teachers.

Some of the children blogged their work. Have a look here:

Hola!

Today each class chose a Spanish-speaking country to study. We sang songs, studied geography and language; tasted Spanish food and looked at artists, clothes, music and dance. Thank you to Ms Fernandez for helping us.

Spanish Day

We’ve had a fantastic day celebrating all things Spanish today. The children have really impressed me with their speaking skills. They have danced, sung, eaten and conversed with great confidence. Their baking filled the school with the delicious aroma of bread. Thank you to Miss Coleman and Miss Velazquez for organising the day.

Here’s a challenge for you – which Spanish artist were Year 6 studying?

Nativity Play

The Christmas Story from all around the world, told by Years 1 and 2. A beautiful play – well done to everyone who took part or helped.
