Last week we were being creative in the woods at forest school painting pebbles with Tommy.
He wanted to show his support for Mr Crooks fundraising challenge for Little Hearts Matter that he successfully completed on Saturday.
We also made a stone for Tiny Tickers "The Tiny Hearts Charity" with Tommy expertly mixing the paints to get the exact colour! 🎨 🌟🤩👏

Walk To School Week 2022
Why walk to school?
🚶♂️Walking to school is a brilliant way to get active and healthy - without even realising you are exercising.
🚶♂️It's also a great opportunity for young people to learn those vital road safety skills and make sure they're alert and ready to learn at the start of a new day.
🚶♂️They will see their friends and be able to chat to them on the way into school - or even make new friends with the kids the meet on the way.
🚶♂️It will also help to reduce congestion especially around schools, reduce pollution and give kids some exercise.

World Children's Day: celebrating the right to education and taking action to unlock a better future
Every child in the world has a right to education. Due to the current health crisis, children's education has been disrupted.
Without quality education for EVERY child, we won't be able to help unleash the potential of the next generation.
At Testlands we uphold good practice in order to develop sound relationships of integrity, truthfulness and trust with children. We are dedicated to making a difference and we aim to give children every opportunity available to encourage them to thrive!
Let's continue to be our children's biggest fans, encourage them and provide them with opportunities to grow.

We found a new friend! 🐸
We have been pond dipping again and for the very first time we found a frog! It has been lovely to use the wildlife area when working with our children and young people and giving them different opportunities to explore and learn.

Hardwork x Determination = Confidence!
One of our students at Alternative Provision felt confident enough to have a picture taken with him attempting his 12 x tables.
Looks like a promising start to us?
We love it when our students are proud of what they achieve.

Forest School fun 🌲
We built our own rope swing. It took teamwork, communication and a whole lot of patience. However, the finished product is obvious. Task completed. Smiles accomplished.
We also had a great time camouflage face painting for playing hide and seek and finding loads of fun creatures in the pond.

We all love it when we are able to use the Pond Area at City Farm during our Forest School activities.
We got completely stuck in and it was knee high wellies and waterproofs for our children… and staff! 🤩
Its amazing to see our children thrive and really explore in other areas of learning.

Last week we were able to celebrate with thousands of children across the city during their personal best days.
These days are held 6 times a year, and our 4th one has been our best one yet.
This is a picture of a wonderful Year R child who really challenged them self to achieve his personal best.
Well done to everyone involved. Please do ask your children about what they were working on last half term and challenge yourself to do it too 🤩
