We looked at a few multi-sensory ways to remember our spelling this week. After a great assembly on Halloween, All Saint's Day, Diwali, Bonfire Night (celebrating someone's attempt to blow up parliament?) and Daniel also mentioned Mexico's Day of The Dead (we Googled and found it was moved from early summertime to align better with other traditions!), so we thought [...]

A fabulous morning was had by all in Class 2 today. Using their pre-prepared smoothie menu, everyone contributed to 'making and drinking' their smoothie. With ingredients such as banana, plum, lemon, pomegranate, pear, apple and strawberry every smoothie tasted completely different. The children were so sensible using the grown-up knives to prepare their fruit and were very careful with their [...]
