“QR loved thinking about a new vocabulary word ‘perspective’ during our ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ topic.
We drew pictures of the Giant from Jack’s perspective and thought about how the different characters felt throughout the story.
In our computing lesson, we challenged ourselves to use perspective to create photographs pretending we were the giants and Jack. We worked fantastically as a team to create these great photographs!”
Miss Latty, Reception Teacher
We think you definitely fulfilled the brief QR! 👏👏

//Excellence with Ambition//
At the start of the academic year, our Geography department set our Senior students the challenge of designing an Antarctica flag in conjunction with @ukpolarnetwork.
This week we received the exciting news that our 2 winning entries by Vita S Q7 and Emma R Q8 had made it to the Antarctic!! 🗻
Fittingly they were taken aboard RRS Sir David Attenborough by marine biologist Dr Emily Rowlands and photographed at King Edward’s Point and the Drygalski Galcier.
Well done to Vita and Emma for your excellent designs. What an adventure!

“Q1 had an amazing Pirate Day filled with creativity and teamwork. The children followed instructions carefully to design their own pirate hats, painted fantastic pirate ships, and created detailed treasure maps. They also worked together on a brilliant piece of collaborative art.
The excitement continued with a treasure hunt, where the class showed great teamwork to discover the hidden treasure. To finish the day, the children took their creativity outdoors, using chalk to design their own pirate-themed artwork on the playground.”
