Footsteps dance classes

We are very fortunate to be given the opportunity to learn some dance moves every Thursday this term. Kate and Kat from Footsteps dance school are fantastic teachers who taught us all the moves we needed to do for our dance. We learned these so quickly and by the end of our session we could already do the whole dance! It was energising and really enjoyable moving to the music and doing all the steps and moves so carefully!

STEM Day with Mr Rankin

What an exciting day we had learning with Mr Rankin.It was full of hands-on Lego based activities and we all got so involved in building the lego models which connected to our ipads via bluetooth. Using a coding programme we could choose different coloured lights, sounds and timed repeats. What a wonderful day!

Dress Up Easter Day

We all looked so good in our beautiful outfits today. Well done, children, on making some of your own items such as crowns. You looked fantastic!

Mr Kirkham's Mindfulness Lesson

We gained much pleasure and insight into our learning with Mr Kirkham this afternoon. He made our Mindfulness lesson so pleasant, calming and fascinating! By teaching us that we all share the same air and breaths with everyone everywhere, we understood that breathing is important. Then he introduced us to a tree he had brought in to show us. We have since named it "Stomata". The reason for this is that Mr Kirkham took one of Stomata's leaves and he used a magnifying camera so that we could get a closer look at its tiny breathing holes, called stomata. 

Mr Kirkham explained that trees and plants are our source of oxygen. They take in carbon dioxide from the air (which we have exhaled) and then convert the carbon dioxide into oxygen! How wonderful! Thank you very much for a wonderful time of mindfulness, Mr Kirkham.
