We had another Autumnal week in Nursery, reading our book "The Leaf Man". The children very much enjoyed creating their own fantastic 'Leaf Men' using leaves, seeds, sticks, paper and glue.
We enjoyed threading autumn leaves, making potions with natural materials, and we especially enjoyed an Autumn walk around school, looking for signs of nature changing! We have watercoloured and traced leaves, as well as creating some beautiful Autumn crowns. We have created observational drawings of scarecrows and pictures of them using small loose parts. Another lovely week in Nursery.
Last week, in Year 6 art, we explored how to create a gradient colour-wash background in preparation for our final conflict art piece. Everyone listened carefully to the instructions and produced some beautiful backgrounds with watercolour paints.
In Year 1 RE last week we learnt all about Harvest Festivals around the world and the different ways that a successful harvest is celebrated. We then drew pictures of fruits and vegetables using chalk pastels on black paper. We finished with singing some traditional Harvest songs from the UK.
If you are a Herts parent carer of a child or young person with SEND (birth to age 25) PLEASE take part in the Herts Parent Carer Involvement (HPCI) Annual Survey. Your child doesn't need to have a diagnosis or an EHCP.

The data HPCI collect gives HPCI evidence. They use that information in their work with Hertfordshire's education, health and care services. Their role is to share the experience of families, in order to drive positive change in the services our children rely on.
Year 5 thoroughly enjoyed the Maths workshop yesterday where they had to work together to solve numerous riddles, using clues, mathematical knowledge, connecting ideas and piecing together information logically. We witnessed great team work too!
