 As a special treat and because we have been reading The BFG, this morning we have watched the film with a little popcorn treat 

 We have had fun this afternoon learning about sign language as part of our Sound topic 

  In our   collective reflective   today, we were thinking about keeping our selves health -not just physically, but mentally too.  As well as all our caring staff, at  Taddington, we have 3   Mental health and Well-being Ambassadors , who are always on the lookout for ways to help us. Listening to some calming music  is one strategy we can use. We also thought of: Spending time outside in nature - growing something Physical exercise - running, cycling or skateboarding. Hobbies and interests - reading a book, dancing, riding, art. Sharing worries with others, a friend, adult or God. Good quality sleep is important too .  On our lovely school field, we had a think about what would help our emotional well-being today: some of us had a close look at some signs of new growth, some had a chat with friends, while others kicked a ball around.  

 This afternoon as part of our Science topic we have been designing and making musical instruments. We had to plan how to make our instruments make high and low sounds and loud and quiet sounds. We have been having lots of fun designing them and although they are not quite finished yet we can’t wait to play them for you.
