25.01.2022 Since Musica Viva couldn’t come to us this week, we had an incursion over Zoom! Our students got to explore Antarctica with Alice Giles and Liena Lacey. They guided us through the frozen wonder of this fascinating continent with sounds of the harp, seals, penguins, water, wind and ice . Click the link in the comments section below for access to some awesome resources (like instructions for making a cardboard box harp). Once on the site, press ‘login’ and use the password - adventure. Enjoy

09.01.2022 In the midst of a global pandemic, the planet still needs us to care. Clean Up the World unites people every September to take action on waste.

Every small action makes a world of difference, so join the global effort for Clean Up the World Weekend (September 18-20).

07.01.2022 Last week Year One measured and drew a curious creature. I wonder what it was?

You guessed it, it was a Whale Shark!
