Pre-Nursery had an exciting visit from Jaws ‘n’ Claws this morning as part of British Science Week. The children were introduced to Pete the Bullfrog, Alice the Royal Python, Ryan the Bearded Dragon and Winnie the Red-Footed Tortoise, amongst others, and they were fascinated by each one. They listened closely as Phil explained how to handle and care for the animals, and they showed calm, gentle hands when invited to touch them.
It was a great opportunity to see these amazing animals up close and learn about their habitats and behaviours. Thank you Jaws ‘n’ Claws for such an engaging and memorable learning experience!

A colourful week in the Art Department!
Our pupils have been exploring an exciting mix of materials and techniques across the year groups:
🔴Year 3 have been glazing their abstract terracotta stationery holders, adding a second layer of colour before they head into the kiln.
🟣 Year 4 have begun sculpting their own Terracotta Army figures after learning about the Qin Dynasty.
🟠Year 5 have transferred their chosen botanical illustrations onto gessoed wooden panels and started painting with vibrant acrylic inks.
🔵Year 6 are building sculptural maquettes, experimenting with scale and perspective using terracotta clay, wooden bases and architectural figures.
🟡Year 8 have created striking automatic paintings on circular wooden panels using acrylic pouring techniques.
A brilliant range of projects taking shape across the department.
