Interesting article on the importance of playtime at school. "Opal helps UK primary schools improve playtime using training on different types of play and a focus on junk equipment such as tyres, rope and sand, as well as dressing up". Our lovely playground/garden ticks all the boxes. And of course we love our dressing up themed days.😊

There is always SO MUCH to do in our playground/garden. Bikes, buckets and spades to make sandcastles or hidey holes in the sandpit. Chalk games, tag.....or just using our imagination.

We love "sharing time". 🙂

Our budding artists presenting their self-portraits.

The art of water colours. All our students receive enrichment lessons in art, music, ICT and PE.

A most important question 🙂

There are many ways to construct sentences. 😊

Spring is in the air

Hopefully we are done with the snowy weather, however, our students would love some more! 😊 The other day they made giant snowballs.

A nice warm vegetarian version of English Shepherd's Pie today for lunch. Perfect for a cold windy day. 😊

Our students had very important work to do at playtime today - catching snowflakes on their tongues. 🥰

The children have LOVED having snow in the playground/garden today. Sadly, not enough snow to make a snowman....but certainly enough to have lots of fun. ❄️❄️❄️⛄️

Fun Holiday Lunch 😊
We wish everyone Happy Holidays and we reopen again 4 January.

The children made their own banana strawberry snowmen at snack time. Yummy 😋

We made this special morning snack for the children today, as it is the last day before the holidays. 🤗. It went down a treat. Full steam ahead 😊

We had lots of fun today. It's nearly time for Sinterklaas 😊

Learning about the history of the internet in ICT lessons.

The weather is getting colder, but that doesn't stop our students from having fun in the garden. 😁 Fresh air and outside playtime is just as important as school work.

Upside down and round and around........ New horizontal bars have been added to our garden, and the students love them!!

Dodge ball. Great for coordination. 😀

"Elf november is de dag..." Look at the beautiful lanterns (lampions) that our students have made. We are ready to celebrate Sint Maarten. 😊
