The children have been using various equipment in Gymnastics to hold a number of poses.

We have had our first Junior cadets session working with our local PCSO today.

Today we planted out our seeds/seedlings into compost. Some of the seeds have germinated beautifully whilst others have hardly changed at all.  It’s been a great visual example for the children to see that even given all the right conditions, not all seeds will continue the life cycle.

We have had a lovely first day in York. 

We’ve had a wonderfully expressive afternoon creating self portraits in the style of Picasso. The children focused on mark making, composition and colour. They created some fabulous work!

We all managed to produce something in knitting today. The children all tried really hard and have learnt a new skill. I know some of them are keen to continue at home and I would love to see anything they go on to create.

We’ve been busy in Computing today learning all about ‘commands’. The children had a great time programming their robots with their chosen commands and then watching them go!

We had a brilliant girls’ football session.

We have continued our knitting as we missed out due to illness before Christmas. We have made some great progress with our designs. Thank you to our volunteers - Sally and Janet - who helped us this week.

We enjoyed a wonderful Science lesson this afternoon, learning all about how seeds change over time. We did an ordering activity, pretended to be seeds and grew as Mrs Cooper watered us and finally planted seeds of our own so that we can watch them grow!

We had such a fantastic evening at the Young Voices concert.
