We had an amazing time trying to imitate how the Shofar was blown during these festivals and it wasn’t as easy as Mrs Saunderson made it look, although Mr Soyka gave it a good try!
Thank you for an incredible afternoon!

It was lovely to see so many cultural foods. The children took turns into going to see the hall full of food and be shown different foods in different places. The hall was set up according to the 7 continents of the world – Asia, Africa, Europe, North America,
South America, Oceania and Antarctica and were labelled to help identify the dishes.Then parents and children were able to taste all of the different foods in classes and talk about countries and religions. We would love to thank all the parents/carers and families who have taken their time to make and buy dishes for us all to try. The children had a great time in class and it was a lovely Friday afternoon.
In year 2 for a Fantastic Finish on Monday, we made Eton mess and decorated biscuits using cream, fruit and sprinkles. Parents/carers and children enjoyed creating thes.
Year 3 had their Fantastic Finish on Wednesday, took part in an activity with children. We read a story about a hedgehog and its hibernation. The afternoon consisted of parents and children going out to collect leaves, bringing them back and creating their own Hattie the Hedgehog from the story. The children really enjoyed and thank you to all those who came and took part in the session.
In year 4 for Fantastic Finish on Wednesday we On the 16th of October, we celebrated ‘Fantastic Finish’ with an engaging art activity based on our geography lessons on reading grids. The children were given the opportunity to explore their creativity by selecting two distinct pieces of art, which they recreated by drawing according to the specific grid provided. It was truly heartening to witness the collaboration amongst the children as they supported one another brilliantly throughout the process. Many parents attended to cheer on their young artists, adding to the warm atmosphere. Both children and parents thoroughly enjoyed the experience, making it a memorable day for all involved.
Year 5 had their Fantastic Finish on Monday, we linked our activity to our History topic, The Romans. We created a mosaic of a Roman soldier’s head using tissue paper and a lot of patience. However, the end results looked amazing.
On Tuesday year 6 Fantastic Finish was lovely to see such a wonderful turn out.. The children have been learning about WW2 in History and in English they have been reading Michael Murpurgo’s book ‘Friend or Foe’ which is set during WW2. During the session parents and children got arty, creating a scene from The Blitz. They used watercolours to paint the night sky and then used silhouettes of buildings to add the London skyline. They created some amazing pieces of artwork. Well done to everyone involved and a big thank you to everyone who attended.
Lovely to see many parents/carers who were able to attend Fantastic Finish this week. A fantastic finish is an opportunity for you to join your child in their class to work together. To be part of a creative challenge, an investigative challenge, a problem to solve or something else closely related to what your child is learning about in their classroom topic.
