   Growing and Waiting in Nursery! 

  This week, we have been learning all about growing with the story Jasper’s Beanstalk!  Jasper was very impatient waiting for his bean to grow… and we learned that plants take time!

  We planted our own beans and talked about the importance of patience while we wait for them to sprout.  Then, we had a very exciting moment—we finally dug up some of the carrots we planted last year!  After waiting and waiting and waiting, they were so big that we shared them with our school rabbits, Snowy and Cookie.  They LOVED their homegrown treats! 

  Learning about growing, patience, and caring for nature—what a wonderful week!  #NurseryLife #GrowingTogether #JaspersBeanstalk #PatiencePaysOff #HomegrownGoodness

  YR5/6AD @RF put the finishing touches on their incredible clay sculptures, showcasing their creativity and hard work. From intricate designs to bold structures, every piece reflected the dedication and artistic vision of our talented students! However, as we evaluated our final pieces, we encountered an important lesson in sculpture-making – structural integrity!  Some sculptures, though beautifully designed, sadly broke due to thin or fragile areas. While this was disappointing, it also gave us the chance to reflect on the importance of thickness, support, and balance in our work. Instead of seeing this as a setback, 5/6AD showed great resilience!  We discussed what worked well, what we would do differently next time, and how learning from our mistakes makes us better artists.
