Team work and passion can produce wonderful things. The children in Hive look forward to baking on a Friday. Here is their creation for the week, which smelt divine! Summerswood School @MJonessps MrsWheatcroftSPS

What does curiosity mean to you? We read the book ‘The Heart and the Bottle’ and the children wondered and imagined who the little girl was missing. We discussed what it would be like to have no curiosity. Oliver Jeffers Summerswood School @MJonessps MrsWheatcroftSPS

In English we are learning about James Lind. To extend our knowledge, we welcomed the historical figure into Hive for some hot seating. 😉

It was so lovely to see the children engaged in WMHD activities today. I loved what you found on your glimmer walks. I noticed how many were connected to nature. Let’s carry on looking for glimmers, those small moments that spark joy or pleasure. Summerswood School MrsO'SullivanSPS

As part of our celebrations for #WorldMentalHealthDay we discussed ‘What makes you glimmer?’ The children collated the positive things they do to support their mental health ✨Summerswood School

Apple pie sensory tray 🍎🥧🍏 The children loved exploring and using their imagination to make an apple pie. They scooped, poured, measured and enjoyed the smell of the cinnamon sticks. @MJonessps MrsWheatcroftSPS Summerswood School

Great halving of two digit numbers this morning using equipment and our number skills. Also challenging ourselves to move onto the next step. Lovely presentation from this pupil. Summerswood School MrsWheatcroftSPS Mrs Paraskeva

Weighing, measuring and mixing are definitely one of the children’s favourite things to do. The smell of chocolate chip flapjacks smelt divine! Summerswood School MrsWheatcroftSPS @MJonessps

Relating anger to firework/rocket. The match is the trigger, the fuse is our thoughts, feelings and body sensations, the explosion is our anger and the water is the cooling off and calming down process. A great model for children to relate to. Summerswood School @MJonessps

Transition boats - What worries do we have when facing transitions? How does it make us feel?
