EYFS children have enjoyed celebrating Cultural Day!

We were learning all about Germany. We looked at German buildings, famous landmarks, tried some traditional German food, and were able to locate Germany on the map.

To celebrate to starting of the World Cup, we also had a penalty shootout with Miss McGrath in the net!

The last celebration of the half-term, what a fantastic half-term it has been with so much to celebrate.

In PSHE this week Nursery have been discovering the beauty of our differences. We each created art work using our favourite colour before putting them all together to form our beautiful rainbow wall. We agreed it was better because it didn’t all look the same. .

This week in maths Nursery have been exploring numicon to 5. We matched them, ordered them and hunted for them throughout our classroom. We had so much fun exploring their different values.

Year 5 had a fantastic time celebrating Cultural Day by exploring the vibrant culture of Mexico! 🇲🇽

In preparation for their learning about the Mayans next half term, the children discovered lots of fascinating facts about Mexican traditions and art. They showed great creativity while making colourful papel picado decorations and beautifully designed sugar skulls inspired by Día de los Mu***os.

To finish the day, the children enjoyed creating and tasting their own loaded nachos, trying a variety of delicious toppings and flavours!

What a wonderful day of creativity, culture and fun learning experiences for Year 5! 🌮🎨✨

🌍✨ Celebrating Cultural Diversity Day in Year 3! ✨🌍

Year 3 had a fantastic time learning all about Egypt as part of our Cultural Diversity Day celebrations. The children explored Egyptian culture, landmarks, traditions, and famous sports, linking their learning to the World Cup and different sports enjoyed around the world. ⚽

They worked brilliantly together to create colourful and informative posters showcasing everything they discovered about Egypt. We are so proud of their creativity, teamwork, and enthusiasm for learning about different cultures around the world!

Well done, Year 3
