Spring Term
Bigfoot Arts – Romeo and Juliet
We learned about the themes of romance, tragedy and comedy and practised and performed parts of the play.
Music Day
We had a fantastic music morning with Mrs Cronin from PocoMusic. We learned all about marching music linked to our history topic and listened to Pomp and Circumstance by Elgar and some of the Star Wars music by John Williams. We also played The Grand Old Duke of York together as an ensemble on glockenspiels.
Tree Planting
As part of Life Skills, we planted trees, from the Woodland Trust, around school and in our wildlife garden with Mrs Wood. The trees are Rowans, Hazels and Crab Apples and we hope to attract some wonderful wildlife with their fruits. We learned how to plant and protect newly planted trees.

Rights Respecting Schools
Our Perfect Classroom
These pictures show the children creating what they thought would happen in classroom where everybody respected their rights and responsibilities. They understood that everyone has a right to be heard and to be protected from harm and to sometime relax and play!
