Robins and Ducklings had a super time learning about lots of the traditions surrounding the Chinese New Year. They learnt about the story of the Great Race, and the legend of Nian, and how these influenced some of the traditions that happen at this important time of year. The children enjoyed tasting some traditional Chinese food, including prawn crackers and noodles. Not everyone liked all of the food on offer (although plenty did!), but most children were happy to try new things, even if they decided after that they didn't like them. One of the standout moments was our dragon dancing, which the children really enjoyed, taking turns to be the dragon and then playing some musical instruments to accompany the next dragon - lots of fun!

A fantastic showcase of music at Manor today! Children from Penguins Class showed off all they have learned over the past term and a half on their doods. We were also treated to some fantastic pieces by other musicians in school including those who play guitar, the flute and even the saxophone! Well done to all involved.

A wonderful start to 2024 in Swans. 

We have focused on recognising coins and using money in maths, In writing we have looked at regular and irregular verbs as well as proper nouns and in science we have started learning about a range of different habitats.

Penguins class had great fun this week learning how to keep safe while riding their bikes on the road. 

Penguins class have been learning how to administer first aid in a range of situations. 

Owls Class learnt about some of the Ancient Egyptian symbols seen in their art work and writings. They then used a mixture of crayons, pencils and pastels to try and replicate some of the symbols and arrange them in their own artistic manner.
