Dan’s Lockdown art
Dan has made a lovey piece of art to remember his time in lockdown. He made the dough out of flour, salt and water before adding handprints and painting it. What a brilliant idea Dan and something other people may like to have a go at.
Henry’s VE Day celebration
Henry and the whole Kovach family definitely got into the spirit of VE Day by the look of these fantastic photos. What amazing costumes. He has also written a great diary entry too.
Dragonfly Class Thursday 14th May
Good morning all,
So here’s today’s “throwback” to things we’ve been up to in Dragonfly Class this year…
There was a special sequence of lessons we did learning all about a very talented French scientist who kept a jar of radium by her bedside each night. Little did she realise how deadly this nightlamp would prove to be! She led medical science in a treatment for cancer and was most definitely a ‘woman who changed the world’. Have you guessed who she is yet? I remember this unit of work very fondly from autumn term where many of you were captivated by this real-life superhero’s story and produced some brilliant biographies. I’m talking, of course, about Marie Curie!
Here’s today’s learning activities:

Dragonfly Class Wednesday 13th May
Good morning all,
I hope you’re having a good week; I’ve been busy doing school work and looking through some of the things we’ve done so far this year – it’s brought lots of smiles to my face! One of my highlights: JELLYBEAN MATHS DAY! I can just see your faces when you walked into class to find hundreds and thousands of jelly beans!
Nicky in the office looked just as delighted and earned herself a treat bag! I can honestly say I haven’t eaten jelly beans since but might treat myself to some next time I’m shopping…! What special day in Dragonfly Class pops up for you?
I hope to be catching up with some of you again this week… watch this space.
