Headteacher blog Autumn 2024

This week in Rowling class we have been learning to add and subtract 4 digit numbers and using resources to support our leaning. In Art, we have been practising and applying our skills and knowledge about tone and sketching. We have explored different sketching techniques in our realistic observational drawings. A very persuasive debate took place in English and the children were able to make their points clearly and with additional information for extra emphasis. A great week for all.

Saltmine Theatre company kept us fascinated with their show "In their shoes." This show taught us about accepting one another, appreciating our differences and caring for our neighbours. The spots and the stripes hated each other, by the end of the show they had learned to accept their differences and become friends. Thank you to the PTA for paying for this brilliant experience as part of our anti-racism curriculum.

Shakespeare class have been discussing what it would be like if Jesus came to Shenley primary school, what would he discover in various parts of the school?

Jeffers class have been experimenting in science with different materials and how they behave.

Morpurgo class enjoyed their visit to Shenley Park apple tasting, yummy!

We had a fantastic time apple tasting at Shenley Park on Wednesday. There were so many delicious and heritage apples to taste. The children widened their tastes and widened their vocabulary to describe the different flavours. Thank you to Liz for hosting us and to all the staff and volunteers who supported the children for the day.
