HPCI annual survey
Herts Parents Carers Initiative have their annual survey out and are looking for as many families as possible to complete it to get a clear picture of what support is happening across the county and what support is needed. Parent voice is so important and it's a great opportunity to help make changes!
Science solutions
This week in science the children are looking at filtering different materials. We are discussing which filters work best for different materials and conducting experiments to prove or disprove our predictions.
A “yoga-tastic” morning!
This morning, year 3 were incredibly lucky as we had a visitor from Stevenage Sporting Futures with us in school for a yoga workshop! We thoroughly enjoyed our yoga, which included an imaginary 'trip to the zoo', where we we practised different yoga poses which are named after different animals. We had a lot of fun but also left feeling calm and relaxed...
Year 1
Animal Characteristics
Year 1 are very keen scientists! We're really enjoying our 'Animals' topic and have been keen to find out more this week.
Black History Month
This week the children have learnt all about the really inspiring Olympic athlete Wilma Rudolph. She overcame huge obstacles in her life to become the first American woman to win 3 gold medals in the same Olympic games in 1960. The children were so enthusiastic about their poster making project and the reults were fantastic. Over the weekend perhaps you can ask your child what they remember about her fascinating life story (and yes she really did have 21 brothers and sisters!)
Home Learning
It's been another fantastic response to our current home learning project this week. The children absolutely love sharing these amazing creations with the class. We want to say a huge thank you to all of you for helping at home, and look forward to more projects next week!
We love Reception!
We have had so much fun in Reception this half term. We have loved exploring the reception environment and meeting all our new teachers.
we have especially enjoyed using the rollercoaster, playing with the dinosaurs and getting muddy!
