• Planetarium

  Fri 15 Feb 2019

  Last week, we hosted a mobile planetarium that allowed children to develop a greater understanding of our place in the solar system.

   

  Children in reception, year 2 and year 5 sat in a huge inflatable dome and were flown past planets, stars and galaxies as an astronomy expert explained the origin and structure of them.

   

  It was truly an amazing and enriching experience - it could almost be described as out of this world.

• Early Years, Social Skills Week

  Fri 01 Feb 2019

  Early years have enjoyed learning all about how to keep themselves healthy during their Health Week.

   

  They had a fantastic time at soft play and completing PE circuits with Mr Hall. They have tasted some delicious smoothies and learnt teeth brushing techniques.

   

  We would like to thank Bellingham Leisure Centre for donating the free soft play session. The children were asked how they felt after the session; they said they were 'sweaty' and 'exhausted'!

  Well done Early Years.
