During todays Nurture Session the pupils have enjoyed a Barefoot Walk.  They experienced a variety of textures and great fun was had by all.

Wow! What amazing time we have had learning all about Italy.  The pupils at the Lower School have thoroughly enjoyed a virtual visit to Italy this week.  The pupils have sampled a variety of Italian Foods, dressed up like Romans, listened to the Story of Romulus and Remus, learnt lots of interesting facts, created Pasta Art, made their own icecream, made their own pizzas, learnt about Roman Numerals, battled like 'Gladiators'  and produced art in the style of Michelangelo.

With the assistance of our art teacher, the outside courtyard is being painted and uplifted by some of our students. 

The pupils of Roaches Lower School enjoyed a range of activities today focusing on the story "The Dot". The story encourages a growth mindset in which the children are encouraged to have a go rather than give up at the first hurdle. The children have each been asked to name one thing that they hope to achieve in the future and to aim for it. They may not be able to do it YET! The pupils have designed and painted wooden discs, completed a calligraphy experiment and worked as part of a team to build a tower. All activities were aimed at encouraging the pupils to think bigger and aim higher!

We have enjoyed the start of our new nurture morning sessions which take place on a Monday. The children have discussed their emotions as well as designing their own rainbow toast. The breakfast club has proved a hit, the pupils have enjoyed getting together before lessons and getting creative!
