RSE Curriculum
This year we will continue to teach the children using materials from our updated Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) scheme.

Outside Learning Day - Thursday 20th May 2021
Kingfisher and Wagtail joined the global movement - Outside Classroom Day. We made a commitment to spend at least half-a-day outside in celebration of outdoor play and learning. We have had THE BEST day and learnt lots of new skills. We used a range of materials and looked at various leaves and plants. Take a look at our pictures!
Design and Technology
What have we been up to recently?
We have had a fantastic week in maths! We have explored height, speed, length and mass in our courtyard and experimented with balance and equity! Take a look below. The children had SO much fun!
