Stephen Hawking Class has had a colourful ‘welcome back’ to the Summer Term as children have been greeted by these beautiful blossoms outside our classroom.

They are a gift that keeps giving; planted with care by previous Gardening clubs .

The flowers have inspired our class worship this week as a reminder that the circle of life continues. We have reflected on how the children can build resilience by taking inspiration from nature.

Story-telling has taken prominence this week as our class has been busy learning a new ‘Warning tale‘ about a camping adventure featuring a mystery hedgehog.

Children have had a lot of fun mapping it out in pictures and using drama to learn how to sequence and plot a story. They’ve all done a great job!
