Coram Life Education visited Minet Infant and Nursery School last week and the children participated in a Life Bus workshop. During the session, they explored the five key aspects of SCARF: Safety, Caring, Achievement, Resilience, and Friendship. The children were introduced to Harold the giraffe, who helped them understand the concept of ‘Resilience’. We also reflected on one of our school values, ‘Rizzo Resilience’, which allowed the children to connect the idea of perseverance and never giving up to their own personal experiences.

In Geography our Year 1 pupils have been learning about the countries in the United Kingdom. We visited each class to learn more about a country and completed some really exciting activities! For England we learnt about famous landmarks and used the VR headsets to 'visit' them. For Scotland we looked at human and physical features. Rugby was played for Wales and we did some Irish dancing for Northern Ireland! It was a great day!

Thank you to Make Believe Productions for a fantastic dance workshop. We had a great time learning different moves and poses!

The Reception children had a wonderful time at the dinosaur workshop today! Johnathan, the palaeontologist reinforced the concept of how dinosaurs lived on earth millions of years ago. The children had the opportunity to explore the dinosaur fossils, they worked hard to match each fossil to the correct dinosaur skeleton. Their enthusiasm was evident as they were keen to ask questions and display their growing knowledge about dinosaurs. The highlight of the workshop was when Johnathan introduced the children to Sophie, the triceratops. Sophie interacted with the children by moving her head and opening her mouth, just like a real dinosaur! The children were absolutely amazed by this experience. Many of them were eager to stroke Sophie and have their photograph taken next to her.
