Castles & Knights
Our teaching approach aims to engage our students in many ways, to help them learn best. That’s why we often take a thematic topic-based approach that covers many aspects of the curriculum simultaneously.
For example, last term our students in KS2 explored the theme: Castles and Knights.
Some students created their own castle artwork with paint and built towers from wooden blocks, Duplo or Lego!
We introduced a new castle themed toy, which encouraged sharing and imaginative play.
Other students went into more detail about the history of castles and even made and painted their own castles.

EASTER SENSORY FUN!
Putting together a sensory activity at home can be great fun, and doesn’t need to be complicated or expensive. If you are looking for an activity at home this holiday, try our Easter Sensory Tray.
If you don’t have time to make colourful rice, plain rice works well too, or a combination of rice and small pasta shapes.
Sensory trays encourage children to explore their sense of touch, sight, smell and sound. By exploring the tray, it helps build on fine motor skills, and can be lots of fun too!
