LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!

6SO have been working hard to produce some beautiful observational sketches of cameras over the past few weeks. Here are just a few of the amazing final sketches and we think you’ll agree, they are outstanding! These beautiful drawings will feature as part of a calendar that Year 5 and 6 are creating based on their current expedition ‘Photographs that changed the world’. The calendar will be professionally printed and available to buy at Christmas time so watch this space!

Forest School Fun!

The Year 6 pupils commenced a 10 week Forest School programme on Tuesday this week and they loved it! The children learnt how to chop wood, they built a swing and climbed trees. They are learning to develop their problem solving skills and confidence in themselves.

A huge thank you to our fabulous TA, Mrs Blunt, for organising this amazing opportunity for our pupils.

Staff Crew – Identifying HOWLs…

If it’s good enough for our children, its good enough for our staff too… Everything that you are doing in class, we are doing too!

Here we are unpicking exactly what it looks like to embrace our values and identify our own HOWLs – Habits of Work and Learning. HOWLS help us demonstrate how we are working to be the best version of ourselves or as we like to say, “Being the BEST version of ME!”
