We are starting to learn a variety of skills that will help us in our learning journey through school. We enjoy learning in a variety of ways and try our hardest!

The Great Fire Workshop - (10.10.19 - 11.10.19)
Pupils in Limetree Class enjoyed a superb day taking part in practical activities with a specialist forest schools practitioner last week. The children spent the morning learning about 'The Great Fire' and finding out why it happened and how we prevent such things happening now. They made their own medieval houses and decorated them with paper and paint.
In the afternoon Annie set the models up with a model of St. Paul's Cathedral and demonstrated how the first started and spread through London. She talked about fire safety and how we can stay safe around fire. The children had a great day and asked some excellent questions throughout.
2018/2019
All children in Lime Tree class have now been given their parts for the upcoming Christmas concert. Year 2 children will all have a speaking part in the play and will therefore have lines to learn. It would be fantastic if these pupils could learn their lines at home and perform to a grown up.
