Well done everyone for collaborating so well!

The children made some fabulous Insect hotels to protect our insect wildlife over the forthcoming cold, damp winter months.

Even though there were lots of nerves before getting on the ice (including adults) - everyone had a great time- showing amazing resilience to get up if they fell.

We’re trying to produce a ‘surreal’ portrait in the style of the iconic Mexican artist, Frida Kahlo.

This all fits in with our writing and reading where we are learning about the Amazon Rainforest and imagining what it would be like to be lost there!
