The Inclusion Team would like to signpost parents and carers to some up and coming events organised by the charity ADD-Vance.
What is ADD-vance?
ADD-vance is a registered charity with a team of over 40 dedicated trainers, coaches, admin staff and volunteers. ADD-vance was set up in Hertfordshire in 1996 as a constituted voluntary organisation by Anne Ross. Anne, a parent of a neurodivergent child, found little support for mums like her so resolved to fix the situation. ADD-vance started as a telephone helpdesk in Anne’s home and grew to include support groups, training and coaching. In 2013 we registered as a charity. Today we have a small office in Hatfield that supports our trainers and coaches who work all over Hertfordshire and beyond.

In Music Year 2 have been exploring timbre and texture to understand how sounds can be descriptive. They have created and performed instrumental music inspired by British myths and legends. This week we have looked at The Giants Causeway and used the ostinato ‘rock, rock, volcanic rock’ in order to compose their piece. Everyone has worked extremely hard!

Yesterday, Year 2 came together to follow instructions to make Rocky Road! The children were great at noticing the features that we can find in instructional writing such as time adverbials, imperative verbs, bullet points to list and a conclusion. Everyone showed great team work and patience while following the instructions and were rewarded with a slice of Rocky Road.

2KW's art topic of line and colour came to a fantastic end yesterday. The children were tasked to create a Great Fire of London image, taking inspiration from Jan Griffier, our influential artist of this half term. We encouraged the children to think of their lines and colours to bring their ideas to life alongside techniques learnt such as blending, stippling and cross-hatching.
We think they did a brilliant job and our classroom was full of amazing artist! We thoroughly enjoyed taking part in a walk around gallery in order to see everyone's masterpieces!

Yesterday Year 4 spent the afternoon creating some wonderful mosaic clay tiles using small glass tesserae to create their designs. The tiles were embellished with a raised clay border and various other additions according to their own ideas. We used a number of clay sculpting skills including rolling a slab, score and slip, and coil building. Well done Year 4, you have made some beautiful tiles!
