Cedar 2 have been focusing their learning on stories relating to our Lower KS2 topic ‘Why sharing food is important?’.  Over the past few weeks our Lower KS2 Learners have enjoyed stories such as Guru Nanak, The story of Lord Buddha’s gift and this week have been learning about The Last Supper.

Learners enjoyed engaging with a Last Supper Sensory Story within the Immersive Learning Environment, exploring physical copies of the story and also watching momentarily as it was projected onto the surrounding walls. Learners loved exploring all the different items laid out as featured within photographs above, learners showed a particular affinity towards the Palm Crosses donated to us by our friends at St. Philip’s Church in Atherton.

Afterwards, Cedar 2 had great fun role-playing their very own Last Supper, taking turns to break bread into two with their  peers.

Oak 2 have had a busy half term learning all about the rainforest. Learners have completed Monoprint’ of some rainforest animals and made collages adding different textures to their animal paintings. Together as a class Oak have also written a poem all about the rainforest, alongside some posters to accompany it.

Oak 2 compiled all their work and created this beautiful display in class, writing their own labels and sentences to hang beside their work.

Birch 2 have been doing some fantastic counting using Autumnal objects during their Maths sessions.

They have been counting conkers and matching them to magnetic numerals. They have also been finding one more and one less of the number of conkers they have.

In school this year we are meeting curious critters! We have been ticking skinny guineas, stroking snakes and feeling cockroaches! We have been very brave even if our teachers were more reluctant! This is helping to reduce our anxieties around animals and explore different animals close up.

This half term, Elm 1 have been learning about and exploring all areas of Our School. The pupils had the chance to visit our Soft Play, Cooking Room, Sensory Gym, Sensory Studio, Immersive Learning and Natures Den. The pupils have taken advance of these amazing learning spaces to develop their understanding of the world as well as all areas of our rich curriculum.

Learners in Cedar 2 have been following a simple recipe to create hot foods which they can take with them to cold climates. Pupils were able to independently create their own pizza toppings and had great fun tasting them.
