Friday was such a lovely celebration for the King's Coronation, which will be such a memorable event in history for our children! We had such a busy morning where we created a collaborative Coronation banner that will be displayed in the school for years to come. After lunch, we then came together…

Today, we had a very special visitor called Rayson. He was born in Kenya and moved to the UK in 2001. Rayson gave us an insight into what is was like living in Kenya and their traditions. This included things like the climate, what they wear, what they eat etc. To truly give us an experience of…

Once all the schools had been made, it was time to put them to the test! First, we tested how waterproof they were. We started with a droplet of water, then a spoonful and finally, a whole cup of water! All of the schools were pretty waterproof and would definitely have kept the piggies dry! We…

Well... after lots and lots of hard work, patience and determination, we have 30 INCREDIBLE hand puppets.
