“Imagination is more important than knowledge.”
~Albert Einstein~
Our first week back into our final term and we couldn’t have packed more excitement into one week!
We started Monday off with a whole school photo, the first in about the past three or four years. Then, the Irish Boy Band ‘Taken’ came and performed on our school field and talked to the children about e-safety. We all danced, sang and clapped along. Hopefully our neighbours were all dancing along as well… The message they delivered was a very important one and one that our school takes very seriously. If you have not yet been to one of our e-safety parent sessions, our next series of them will begin again in the Autumn term.
We had a busy summer reading morning with many children and parents turning up to enjoy pastries, tea and juice. We look forward to starting these again in September and hope to see many of you there.
Year 3 had an amazing day out on Wednesday, be sure to read their class blog to see pictures and get all of the updates.
On Thursday, we had French day and all of the children were busy learning about various aspects of France and their language. In the afternoon we had a carousel of activities to complete, including dancing, singing, and food tasting. A few children commented that they wished French day was everyday! Well done to Ms Dark for organising such a seamless event, with loads of learning and fun for the staff and children.
The week ended with both the year 3 sharing assembly and the whole school tea party to celebrate Her Majesty the Queen’s 90th Birthday. We had a grand turnout with parents and children picnicking on the field with tea and hundreds of scones, flapjacks and cakes baked by Cook Emma for everyone to enjoy. Again, another wonderful afternoon with glorious weather…the rain seems to be holding off for all of our events so far!
We began with the theme of being ‘Imaginers’ in collective worship last week and discussed the meaning of ‘stepping outside of the box’. The quote above from Albert Einstein was debated and we talked about how if we did not use our imaginations nothing would have been invented and how ‘thinking outside of the box’ means being able to imagine what others may think impossible!
So, the question we are exploring now is, how do we nurture our imagination so that we think, we invent, we create, we design, we explore, we imagine all possibilities…..truly making the ‘impossible’ a reality?
