Year 3 had a fantastic opportunity to work with a drama teacher from Wednesfield Academy. The children worked through a variety of drama exercises to make them aware of the space they occupy and how their body language can convey different meanings for different scenarios. A big focus in this session was about being a good audience! How we listen to performers, how we react and how we give feedback when the performance has finished.

To finish the day, each child planted their own sunflower seed —

Reception have been full of excitement this week as we welcomed some very special new visitors into our classroom. Ten tiny eggs arrived, and the children have been eagerly watching and waiting… and now, they have hatched into the most adorable chicks!
