Dress to Express Day was our way of celebrating Child Mental Health Week. We spoke with the children about the importance of celebrating individuality, about how we are all different and different is good!
Today was 3.2.23, a palindromic number that is the same forwards or backwards. So what better way to celebrate than with a Numbers Day. Fantastic costumes were worn to school and all children enjoyed a carousel of maths activities across all classes.
Another immersive day today as Year 2 experience History in Action with 'Florence Nightingale' in Scutari Hospital. This was a great way to learn about such a key figure in our country's history and to consider the impact she and other nurses made on the Health Service of the future.
We learnt a wonderful sporting skill today with a visiting dance teacher. Our maypole enjoyed its first outing for quite some time and the children took well to the skills needed in this traditional dance.
We enjoyed a wonderful, musical Harvest Assembly today at Chalfont St Peter Parish Church. The children behaved beautifully for their first trip down since Covid and we had wonderful feedback about the singing, speaking and confidence of the children. Thank you to all the children and parents for their generosity bringing gifts of food for the One Can Trust.
Willow and Pine Class had a wonderful time today learning about one of our emergency services - the Fire Brigade. This was in response to one child's hope to be a firefighter. The children enjoyed seeing all the fire engine's specialist equipment and learning about fire safety. Thanks to Gerrards Cross Fire Station for sparing the time to visit us.
What a wonderful time we had today - each child getting the opportunity to work with and code several gadgets from the Techy Tots collection. Much was learnt about algorithms and there was an excited buzz in the hall as their coding worked!
Thank you to our confident and smiley Year 2s who showed our new parents around school today. The parents were so impressed and I really think the children, touring and in the classrooms, delighted them with their information about our school and insightful comments about what we do here. Mrs Whittall was very proud of you all.
We were delighted to welcome Rosalyn Burch today who came to chat to Mrs Whittall about the teaching and learning in the school. She also enjoyed a tour around our school and was very pleased with the work she saw. She commented on the lovely behaviour from the children and welcoming, happy atmosphere. Well done all!
What a truly inspirational and memorable week that was! So much Art, Dancing and Music as well as a street party , Palace Gallery and wonderful mementoes to go home with. See out gallery pages for photos coming soon.
