Les Conteurs de P6 et les auditeurs de P3

P3 we’re lucky to have visitors from P6 this week who came to tell us a story they had written in French. The focus for their story was ’emotions’ where they used well known characters to talk about how they were feeling and why they felt this way. 

P3 did well to work out what these feelings meant from the words and the wonderful illustrations.

Thank you P6 for sharing your French stories so confidently with us!

P2s Complete Roots of Empathy Program

P2s in Miss Younger and Mrs Gunstone & Mrs Chadwick’s classes completed their Roots of Empathy program with instructor Mrs Harris-Toner. Each week the children enjoyed getting to know Baby Oliver and seeing how he was changing and growing. We connected with our Roots of Empathy family through regular visits and news with mum Sally and big sister Chloe.

The lessons gave the children an opportunity to share their feelings and experiences. The children especially enjoyed the art activities, learning how to look after a baby and thinking of their wishes for Baby Oliver as he grows up. Last week the children said a big thank you and fond goodbye to Oliver, Sally and Chloe. This week the children were delighted to receive their well deserved certificates. 

For more information please ask Mrs Harris-Toner, Miss Younger, Mrs Gunstone and Mrs Chadwick. Also check out

Mini Masterclass: Construction

P2, P3 and P2/3 have been enjoying our new range of masterclasses for the younger years.

It’s been great letting the littler ones have the masterclass experience for the first time this year and visiting different classrooms, teachers and friends on a Friday.

Construction is the theme of one class using straws and plasticine and another junk modeling. Those visting had a great time and they can build on in their next masterclass.
