What a Wonderful First Week Back!

What a wonderful first week back we have had! The children have been absolutely brilliant, and we are so proud of the positive start they have made to the new school year.

I was particularly impressed with their discussions in Art this morning, where we explored some of the work of the artist Paul Klee. The children made some fantastic observations and confidently shared their ideas about what they thought the artwork might represent. They also discussed whether they liked the artwork and, importantly, explained the reasons for their opinions.

I was especially impressed by the children's Oracy skills. They listened carefully to one another and showed great respect for each other's ideas. They agreed with, built upon and, when they had a different viewpoint, politely disagreed with their friends. Even more impressively, they were inviting one another to contribute and making sure everyone had an opportunity to share their thoughts.

It was wonderful to see such thoughtful, respectful and confident communication taking place so early in the year.

Well done, everyone! What a fantastic start to the year!
