Why am I special?
This term, children in Unit 1 have been learning through the topic of Good to be Me in their PSHE lessons. In order to encourage children to appreciate their own unique qualities as well as those of their classmates, we gave the children a project to complete over a number of weeks. We asked the children to create a 5-10 minute show and tell about themselves and what makes them unique in hope that through completion of this project they would discover similarities as well as differences between themselves and their peers. The presentations were a huge success and children showed real creativity in the way they chose to present!
Circus Hook Day! Tuesday 23rd April
Unit 1 started the Summer term with their exciting Circus Hook Day. We completed a range of different activities including juggling, plate spinning, team games, clown art work and singing songs from The Greatest Showman. They children enjoyed the day and are now excited for the term of topic learning ahead. We would like to say a big thank you to our families for the effort that was put into the children's costumes.
