As part of Mental Health Week, the children in Garnet Class took part in the 'Time to Talk' session on Friday morning. This session encourages the children (and staff) to take a pause in a busy week and to talk and to listen to one another. We have a cup of squash and a biscuit in the session as we relax and chat to one another about all sorts of things that we might be thinking about and want to share. So grab a cup!

Today, Garnet class had a very special visit from our Artist in Residence, Jo Kent. Jo worked with the children to develop their creative ideas and explore colour by designing and making their own ice creams. Here are the pictures of their work:

International Women’s day.
On 8th March Garnet class celebrated International Women’s day. We talked about what this means and discussed as a class how life used to be (and still is in some countries) if you were female. The children were all outraged that girls were thought of as ‘not the same’ as boys and didn’t have the same opportunities as males. We role-played being male and female in the days of inequality and we had a bunch of Suffragettes chanting ‘No! No! No!’
We focused on the life of Professor Sarah Gilbert – a scientist who was central to inventing the vaccine for Coronavirus, so very relevant to today’s society. We were thankful that, due to equality, she was able to be educated and is now a world-class scientist.
The class came up with amazing words such as ‘clever, freedom, resilient, powerful women and awesome scientist.’
They each designed a poster around this amazing woman and here are a few for you to enjoy. Garnet class were indeed passionate about this important day!
