The Sound of Nursery by Nursery Team On Thursday 1st of June, Nursery had their year end show. The show  was called 'The Sound of Nursery' and was a celebration of music  and movement. The show was inspired by older students who had  visited Nursery and performed to them over the year.  Through  collaboration with Ms Kao she helped to develop the idea. Ms Kao  chose a variety of students to come and play their instruments to the  younger students. It was a great opportunity for the older students  to play to a real audience and gave the younger students the chance 

to listen to real instruments.  It was this experience that provided us  with the inspiration for our show.  The show was the Nursery children's chance to play instruments and  lead the learning. They had a lot of fun practising and getting ready  for the show and were delighted to play to so many parents.   We are so proud of how well they performed. Well done Nursery!

Art in Year 1

by Mr Eamonn O’Callaghan 

For our unit about plants the students looked very closely at  flowers and identified all the different parts. 

The students continued the flower theme with some Creative  Stitching. 

In art class we practised observational drawing in pencil. Then  we used markers to outline the shapes and painted with  watercolours. 

Now we are working on Paper Quilling.  The students are rolling paper strips into different shapes and  gluing them together to make an image of a flower 

For our next craft lesson the students drew the different parts  of the flower on coloured paper and cut out the shapes. Then  they glued all the pieces together to create a flower collage. 

Please go to the School Gallery to see the work or go Online  https://www.flickr.com/photos/133642183@N05/albums

by Ms Flora Sung their peers.  Their queries about the future Chinese study and life at the  secondary campus were also clarified.  All the Year 6 students have  received a TES Teddy Bear at the end of the event, which brought them  welcome greetings from the mountain.
