The themes of change and transition are very important at St Eanswythe's this term. In PSHE Year 2 found a fun way to explore this concept...whilst keeping very cool in the heatwave! We thought about upcoming changes for us this term like new teachers, moving into KS2 and a new classroom. How did these changes make us feel?

During this week all the classes participated in KIC theatre drama workshops. The topics covered were Sound, Shadow and Light, Journeys, Where the Wild Things Are, Transition, Secret Agents and Our Local Area.

Today many of James' Dance Club performed at the Quarterhouse. The event was the Wavelengths Community Dance Day, it is the second year this exciting opportunity has been held. Various different Dance Schools joined in for this event, which was a pleasure to watch. Huge thanks to James for organising and teaching our children the two dances, Colour of Love and Journey to the Past. We really appreciate all the children and parents that helped to make the occasion so great.

What a fabulous day we have had celebrating World Music Day today. We were so fortunate to be joined by Kevin Richards, the drummer from Gumboots Reggae Band, who led every class in a drumming workshop. The children did a great job drumming out the various patterns Kevin taught them and also at following a type of call and response signal letting them know when to start, break and stop. At lunchtime, Mrs Hodgkinson sang to the children in the hall whilst they ate their lunch.

It was raining confetti in Assembly today as we all gathered together for our last PSHE assembly of the academic year. Together we celebrated our individual achievements! A few brave individuals walked our red carpet and shared their success stories with the whole school - We had proud moments such as Leap of Faith from our Residential trip, to being good friends, to wonderful art work. After this, it was time for the teachers to celebrate all of the pupils at St Eanswythe's

Year 2 and 4 had a lovely time at beach school this morning in the sunshine. There were lots of creative activities taking place, as well as rock pooling, which led to lots of soggy and sandy feet!

Chess Club members are always very vocal in their learning about chess and when it comes times to play each other, the children become very animated especially if they are using the four way chess board. Thanks Mathew for the teaching.

The children in French Club were enjoying learning some French whilst doing some fun activities.
