We have been very lucky to have some fantastic dance workshops as part of our PSHE curriculum, provided by Urban Strides this week.
The children have been learning about how moving your body and keeping active can do wonders for your mental health. It's also a way to express yourself, so you can do as much or as little based on how you are feeling.
Today, children from years 3 - 6 were given 9 dot dominoes. They first had to find out if they had a complete set. All the children managed to order the dominoes systematically to form an argument to prove they had a full set.
The next challenge was to identify how many dots there were altogether without counting each individual dot.
Finally, for the children who were able to complete this, they then used their thinking to work out how many dots there would be in a set of 12 dot dominoes.
We were incredibly impressed with the resilience and focus they showed towards the task.

Thank you to NRICH for inspiring a great task.
To mark World Book Day, the children took part in a ‘Secret Reader’ activity! Each teacher across the school secretly chose a story and the children signed up to the book they wanted to hear. In the afternoon, the children then took part in a fantastic book quiz created by Miss Garner and completed a range of reading activities in their classes. Some children also chose to dress up for the day and the costumes were so creative! Thank you for your support with this.
