Magnificent Multicultural Week!

Staff and pupils had a fantastic time during Multicultural week, last week. All the children took part in a variety of activities, from creating their own Brazilian drums to taking part in carnival workshops. See some of our lovely pictures below!

We have also now finished our 3D model of Harpenden! We can't wait to show it off on open evening! Here is a preview of what we've been getting up to.







This week, in Literacy, we have been exploring discussion texts. We have discussed and debated a variety of topics and it has been great to watch children argue their point! Next week, we will continue to explore discussion texts, building up to the childern writing their own balanced argument. We look forward to reading their arguments for and against! Maybe you could discuss some ideas on our topics:
- Should children get homework?
- Should children be able to choose bedtimes?
- Should children be able to stay indoors during breaktime?

We hope you have a great time at the Summer Fayre and the lovely weather continues!
