What a fantastic arts week we have had! All of the classes have danced, sung, painted and collaged their way through the week. Every class created ocean inspired art to support our campaign to rid our oceans of harmful plastics.

Today is ‘Bling your Bike’ day! As part of our walk to school week, the children brought in their decorated bikes and scooters. The theme for the decorations was all things sport and we were so impressed by the wonderful designs and fantastic ideas.

The school fund here at Polesden Lacey is used to provide many wonderful learning opportunities and experiences to all of our children. Today, every class will take part in a “Perform” workshop to enhance an area of their class learning.

Squirrel class are currently taking part in their workshop focusing on the rainforest. This will help support their leaning in topic lessons.

Badger class enjoyed their “Perform” workshop this morning, all about fairytales. These fantastic active workshops help to support the children in their writing of traditional tales in English as well as being a lot of fun!

Badger class have arrived safely at the British Wildlife Centre and are already enjoying finding out all about the animals and animal conservation.

Edit: We are so proud of our fantastic Badger class today. The children were amazing at asking interesting questions and listening carefully to a lot of new information about our very special British wildlife. Well done and thank you to everyone who made both school trips this week possible.

Squirrel class have arrived RHS Garden Wisley and are already excitedly exploring different plants and seeds in the education centre.

Yesterday, we celebrated World Maths Day with a day of maths based learning. It was lovely to see so many children enjoying playing with maths. Don’t forget to log in and get your child to use their Numbots account from home if possible!

Today we were treated to a day of sporting inspiration delivered by GB athlete Aidan Syers. All of the classes took part in two workshops focusing on different areas of sport and fitness and introducing the concept of healthy competition. Aidan commented on how fantastic his day was getting to spend time with our children. He also mentioned that one of the questions posed to him by a member of Squirrel class was the “best question I’ve ever been asked by a six year old!” The confidence and resilience shown by our children was outstanding and I’m sure today has inspired some budding sports stars of the future! Well done Polesden Lacey!

Spring visitors in the school grounds today!
