Exploring Shape
Senior 3 enjoyed exporing 2D and 3D shapes. They particularly liked using magnatiles to make 3D shapes and buildings.

Wonder Workshop 
Created by artist Phillida Eves in collaboration with composer/musician Michael Chang and choreographer/dancer Monica Muñoz, the Wonder Project had a week long residency in our school where the children are co-creators of the experience.
The Wonder Project is an interactive, sensory experience for the children. Live music, movement and a feast of sensory engagement lead the children to discover and explore their own stories, dance, and creativity.

Senior 3 pupils and staff enjoyed the above sensory workshop during October. Our pupils really enjoyed having the freedom to express themselves through this project.

Fruit and Vegetables
We explored food in November through art, pair work and several food themed stories. The pupils enjoyed exploring this topic a lot!!! :)
