Our class have been looking at the French post-impressionist painter, Henri Rousseau. He is particularly well known for painting jungle scenes. Here is our work after we took inspiration from Mr Rousseau. You can also see this on display in our school outside class JA.
Eddie and Charlie were able to show their ‘green fingers’ and bring the daffodil bulbs they had planted back in to school this week. They entered their daffodils into the whole school competition. Eddie had presented his in a cleverly decorated pot holder. Well done to both our budding gardeners!
During our horse riding lessons, sometimes we are able to learn about general pony care. These photos show Billy and Eddie learning how to adjust stirrup leathers and check the girth of the saddle.

In HG, we have begun to find out all about Bees. In the kitchen today, we used honey as a main ingredient for our baking. We made ‘Honey Biscuits’. Biscuits are usually made with an amount of sugar, but not these biscuits! The Honey was sweet enough. We also added some ‘Ginger Spice’ for extra […]

In our horse riding lessons, the children have to work really hard on their posture and balance whilst learning to control their horses at the same time! Their efforts are really paying off.
