Our overall attendance this week was 94.2%

It has been another fantastic week here at Smiths Wood. The rain didn't hold us back as this week, we celebrated National Outdoor Classroom Day across each year group in the school. Every class bubble had the opportunity to take one of their lessons outside. Year 3 took their data handling in Maths to the pond area where they counted which animals and insects could be found. Building on their Maths skills, year 4 used coordinates to move around the playground, and also went outside during Literacy to get inspiration for a setting description. Year 6 linked Geography to Art and created a map of Smiths Wood using materials from their outdoor surrounding areas. As well as this, KS1 joined in the fun! Year 1 made bird's nests through an outdoor Design & Technology lesson during their forest school session, whilst year 2 mind mapped adjectives surrounding Florence Nightingale using their bodies as an outline.

This week we have made the transition period back to year group bubbles.  Everything is running smoothly, with children retuning to ability-based learning.  Children have seamlessly adapted to yet another change to their year, demonstrating our pupils extremely high levels of resilience and determination.  We are so pleased to see their friendships reignited and children responsibly mixing within their respective year group bubbles, respecting each other's space.

We would like to thank you for your continued support during this time, for more pictures from our exciting week of learning, please see our gallery
