Essex Dance Theatre (exactly what it says on the tin) tours down this way every year to show what they've been up to and run a workshop. After a delayed start, we arrived to see several of their dances. We then had a go ourselves and were put through our paces by the dancers! Yes, we adults also [...]
Today was our mini sports' day... called Sports Challenge Day. Based on Athletic Union standards, distances and timings, Yr2 and older children challenged their personal results to try to beat or improve upon them. A great day! Remember sun cream and water for Thursday please.
Last week we started designing minibeasts! We chose which minibeast we would like to create and made a plan. We labelled the different materials we were going to use and how we were going to put it together. We then used different pieces of junk modelling to create our chosen minibeast!

Sorry for the delay, we've been working hard to find an efficient way to share a photo album that also covers ease of sharing, privacy and adheres to GDPR guidelines. However, here's a gallery of photos from our lovely residential in Cheshunt and London. Everyone entered into the activities with determination and enthusiasm, and they all enjoyed a real sense [...]
Some of our children moved up a classroom this afternoon, and some became 'the professionals' in the room, welcoming the newer children in to their classroom. We had teamwork going on, communication and rules being spoken about, laying down children's expectations of us (as well as ours of them), some playing together and also finding out about each others strengths, [...]
