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!

Class 1 have had such fun this morning practising their phonics. We have been incredibly busy learning new sounds and this morning while in the provision, the children enjoyed playing a game which help to reinforce their phoneme grapheme correspondence.
