As we near the end of the school year, the children have been incredibly busy in preparation for all the upcoming events and changes. A huge focus this week has been on the transition from Hadrian to secondary school. We began looking at social stories around the transition. The children can fill their stories with information such as who their new teacher is, their classmates and what they can expect to do when they go to their new school. This will be ready for the children to take home before the transition. The children attending Sir Charles Parsons got the opportunity to visit the school, where they met their new teacher and were introduced to their new classmates. They got to experience lunch-time at the school and had time to socialise with their new friends. The children loved introducing themselves and getting stuck into the activities in their new classes.

Following last week’s science lesson on plants, the children had the opportunity to complete an experiment to see which conditions will affect the plants growth. The children used the knowledge they learnt in the previous lesson to predict whether the plant with or without water will grow the best. Now begins the anxious wait to see if they will sprout!

In Maths, we have continued identifying coins. Snack times have now turned into ‘tuck shop’ with the daily helper becoming our shop keeper. Each child shows great engagement throughout and are demonstrating they can correctly identify coins to ensure they can get their favourite snack.

This week we have continued with our preparations for our Hadrian School Carnival! The children handed out their invitations to the other classes. We then designed and began creating tie dye t-shirts to wear on the day. They turned out AMAZING and the children can’t wait to show them off.

In PE this week, we took a break from Samba dancing and had our own mini circuit training session. The children worked in two groups, one working on javelin throwing and the other on balance and coordination. The children loved showing off their skills on the balance boards and showed off funky moved while they completed the course.

Friday will be spend as always, celebrating the achievements of the lovely children in the school in Assembly, followed by Friday clubs where children can engage in their favourite activities with friends throughout the school.

Have a lovely weekend!
