Clay owls

Today Rowan Class learned how to make pinch pot clay owls. Once again they blew my socks right off with their brilliant listening skills, concentration and determination. It really was a super effort from all and they were rewarded with some fantastic looking owls.  
































Coding whizz kids!

This morning we have been flying helicopters, making castles, making witches fly and making mazes! Aren't we clever?! We have been learning to debug our code when it doesn't quite go right, like when our helicopter flies down instead of left!

The Old School Hall

On Friday we went down to the Old School to find out what it was like to go to school there. We learned so much from looking around and from asking questions to the lovely people that we met, who went to school there. They told us lots of interesting facts. If you ask us, we can tell you all about it! We were really grateful for Mrs Dennis, Mr Gedge and Mr Hustler who told us all about their experiences.

King's Balance at Thorpe Woodlands


Lots of problem solving occurred on the King's Balance today. Some practised their leadership skills, whilst others listened and acted. Look how brilliant they were - they managed to balance lots of different combinations of adults and children. Well done Rowan class - I'm so very proud of you!








Thorpe Woodlands

What a fantastic day we have all had in the woods today! Our words of the day were: teamwork, perseverance, determination, pride and self-belief. We were fantastic at praising and encouraging one another. There were some great leadership skills too. Look at the photos and see which of these words you can pick out. These photos are from the low rope activities.











































Thanks to our fantastic parent helpers again. We couldn't have done it without you!
