We had a fantastic day energising with Qi Gong; tasting the flavours of China; making paper snakes to celebrate the year of the snake; and sculpting willow lanterns with our families. Our day ended with a parade around school complete with bells to ward of any bad spirits in the year ahead.

After learning how and why canals were built we made our own. The children formed embankments and cut out a staright canal. They lined the canal and filled it with water. Then they added boats, an engineer, mill owners, buildings, horses and lots more.

What an amazing time we all had creating wonderful memories at Hooke Court this year. The children were fantastic!
We took part in a range of exciting activities including; bridging a very wet moat; night search and rescue; tribal kingdom day; shell craft and rocket building!
The children all enjoyed some delicious food for breakfast, lunch and tea!
We are extremely proud of all the children for embracing their time away and hope you can agree from the photos that they have had a truly memorable experience and one that they will hopefully remember and cherish for a long time 😊

What an amazing day we had today! We went off on an adventure and floated our boats! You should all be really proud of your children. There were so many successful boats! Thank you for all of your support with helping the children make their boats. Every single person in the class made one which was amazing!

Today we gave the final performance of our class dance based on the Trojan war story.
We began by sailing the 1,000 ships across the sea from Sparta to Troy before building the walls of Troy to protect Helen within the city. Enemy dancers performed partner sequences in slow motion and real time and then we became the mighty war horse that ultimately helped the Spartan army to win the war.
We've had a fantastic term dancing and the children should be really proud of the confidence and quality of movement that they have shown.
