Creativity!
Yesterday we talked in assembly about creativity. We spoke about how we can all be creative in different ways and this may be expressed in lots of different ways.
I spoke about not being very โartisticโ myself but so much of this is probably because I โthinkโ I canโt do it and have not given myself chance to practice.
We then spoke about creativity being in a lot of different ways and sometimes people have to think creatively in finding solutions to a problem, etc.
We talked about creativity not being perfect. Sometimes itโs a trial and error approach.
In assembly, I set Year 1-6 a task. I have asked them to get creative in improving our school and grounds. This can be in looking after things, planting something, creating displaysโฆ the possibilities are endless and I look forward to seeing what they come up with.
Keep your eye out over this term for some spring colour coming into our grounds too, we canโt wait to get creative!

14 April (Sunday) VAISAKHI / BAISAKHI โ Sikh
In 1699, on Vaisakhi, the tenth Guru, Gobind Singh, founded the Order of the Khalsa. Five men (Five Beloved Ones), offered their lives when the Guru asked for volunteers. The โFive Ksโ, the outward signs of Sikhism, were made obligatory and Sikh men took the name โSinghโ (lion) and women โKaurโ (princess). The initiation ceremony, amrit, was introduced.
Article 17
It has been lovely to see all the children come back in this week and I have seen just how quickly they have settled back in and hit the ground running. Especially Year 6, who have been keeping me busy with lots of maths problems!
We have had the new curtains fitted to the stage today and after having a new floor fitted over the Easter holidays, we are really excited to start doing performances up there again - watch this space.
Next week we are expecting a visit from Deborah Smith, Director of Education from the Manchester Diocese. We are very much looking forward to welcoming her to our school again and I am sure she will see the children flourishing.
We have had a brilliant start back in terms of attendance - please remember, every day counts!
Have a lovely weekend.
