ππ« "Year 2 Palm shared a wonderful class assembly this week all about their journey to becoming part of one new Holmleigh family. The children explored how two schools became one and reflected on how they worked through their worries, concerns, confusions and differences to grow together as a united community. Through their thoughtful presentation, they reminded us that it is not the building that makes a school special, but the people inside it. The children, staff and families are what truly matter!" ~ Miss Oriola

πͺβ "Nutmeg Class have been learning all about fractions in maths this week. We used play dough to explore fractions by finding a quarter of different shapes. The children demonstrated excellent problem-solving skills as they divided their models into four equal parts and explored the concept of fractions in a fun, hands-on way!" ~ Ms Esma
ππ¨ "Did you know that geometric patterns and colours are significant in Islamic tradition? They are used as tools for spiritual reflection rather than mere decoration. In our RE lesson, we designed our own prayer mats using carefully selected colours and patterns. The colour red reflects life, vitality and energy. Can you tell the significance of green, blue and gold? The children created some beautiful and thoughtful designs while learning about the meaning behind Islamic art and symbolism." ~ Mrs Simmons

ππ "In our Literacy lesson, we used actions to show how characters are feeling through `Show, Not Tell`. Pupils in Year 3 Elder used drama to bring emotions to life. Can you tell how these pupils are feeling based on their actions? Who is angry? Who is worried or scared? Can you spot the exhausted child? You certainly can`t miss the excited one! Well done if you guessed correctly!" ~ Mrs Simmons

π¨π§± "In Ash Class, we explored the work of artist Mike Kelley, who worked with clay as a creative medium. The children learned about clay, including where it comes from and how it is used. They then had the opportunity to freely explore and manipulate the clay, creating a variety of shapes and forms.
Through this hands-on experience, the children developed their creative expression, communication, and problem-solving skills while gaining an understanding of both two-dimensional and three-dimensional forms. They enjoyed experimenting with different techniques, sharing their ideas with others, and expressing their own unique creativity. Fun was had by all!" ~ Miss Pru

πΆπ "As part of our RE lessons, Year 5 is learning about Alevis. One of our students is learning how to play the Saz, a traditional Turkish instrument that is played at the Cemevi and is often accompanied by the Semah, a symbolic dance. How amazing!" ~ Mrs Posada
