Hello from Hazel! We have had another busy and productive week! In Science, we have been exploring different containers for growing cress seeds. The children will be evaluating which containers were most effective and identifying the features that make them suitable for plant growth. In French, we have been practising our fruit vocabulary, and the children are becoming much more confident. In English, the class has been working incredibly hard on using direct speech and subor

It's been another soggy week, but each class has been busy, busy, busy! Our Christian value for the term is compassion. In celebration assembly this week, we talked about why we show compassion. Jesse suggested that if we show compassion to other people, they will show compassion to us. We discussed the quote " Compassion is at the heart of everything we do...to lose our compassion is to lose what it is to be human", and then watched a video about a person who showed compass

As you may have already heard, this year’s Hazel Class end-of-year production is The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse — and Hazel Class are incredibly excited to get started! We can’t wait to see the story come to life on stage. In Science this week, we explored how sound can change in pitch and volume. The children had the chance to create their very own harmonics — and well done to those who managed to produce a sound that didn’t resemble a party popper exploding! In Ar
