Bollywood comes to Emerald Class
Jayden and Gov entertained us with their amazing Bhangra dance this afternoon. They were both highly energetic and rhythmic as well as demonstrating courage which is our key focus this month. Thank you boys!
Tyger Tyger, burning bright
In our Vipers lesson this morning, we heard the famous William Blake poem ‘The Tyger’. The old spelling of the word links beautifully to our learning all about Shakespeare and how our wonderful language originated. The children enjoyed hearing the rhyming couplets and we explored the deeper themes that the poet explored such as how…

The music was infectious and everyone enjoyed the calm start that built to a louder, quicker beat. It was fantastic to see…
