Amazing gifts from the Year 1 parents and my wonderful CB team!

Our 'Lighthouse Keeper's Picnic'!

My last week at Castle Batch was made very special by the lovely children & my amazing colleagues. A huge thank you to the children and parents for my very generous gifts, cards & kind words and messages. So many happy memories to take with me! Here are some of the highlights.

I have to share these lovely photos before I sign off. My class this year were definitely a class of budding artists! Inspired by the works of Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. #artists #paintings @PhamYear1 @MrsHarraway2 @principalcbpsa

It was an emotional Year 6 leaver's assembly yesterday, but it was lovely to remember every one of these children through their Castle Batch journey. 💕 .It brought back many happy memories of my Year 1 class. Good luck Year 6 and enjoy making new memories!

Developing our programming in ICT this week. Beebot had to be programmed to visit parts of a 3 Little Pig story map. Great teamwork to work out and input a sequence of instructions! 👍 @PhamYear1 @mrsbucklandyr6 @BrownleeYear1 @principalcbpsa

Our Yr 1 scientists have been using magnets 🧲 to explore different metals and torches 🔦 to test which materials are reflective. Lots of exciting investigative work and scientific vocabulary! @PhamYear1.@BrownleeYear1 @DaweCaroline @principalcbpsa

RT @MrMCGrammar: ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ the rap! Big shout out to @MichaelRosenYes @HelenOxenbury & the @BIGPictureBooks @WalkerBooks….

Our Year 1 artists have been exploring how to make colours darker and lighter by adding black or white. I think we will be ready to use these shades and tints for our beach paintings next week! 🎨 @MrsHarraway2 @principalcbpsa @PhamYear1 @BrownleeYear1

Our KS1 and EYFS musicians had a great time learning to play steel pans on Friday. Lovely to hear them, and I felt proud watching such great teamwork! 🥁 #music #percussionists #musicians #teamwork @principalcbpsa @PhamYear1 @BrownleeYear1 @hanratty_mrs
