Class 2 loved exploring watercolour techniques inspired by artist Emma Burleigh! We were encouraged to paint anything we felt, allowing our marks and colours to lead us, before discovering the stories hidden within our creations. What fun! @accessart.bsky.social #artstc #lovestc

Class 6 spent the afternoon noticing and defining what an irreversible change is. We used bicarbonate of soda and vinegar to watch a chemical reaction occurring and a new substance forming 🧪 #scienceSTC #loveSTC @britsciassoc.bsky.social

We are enjoying imagining where our moving animals live. It was hard to decide on which media to use to create our backgrounds but we’re very happy with how they’re looking so far! @accessart.bsky.social #lovestc #artstc

Class 2 had a wonderful time visiting Lewstone Farm today! We enjoyed learning all about wild plants, identifying the different parts of a plant and discovering how to tell the differences between trees. A fantastic day of hands-on learning and exploring nature! #ks1stc #lovestc #sciencestc

Class 6 explored the processes of reversible change with the book ‘Drop’ by Emily Kate Moon. It helped us to understand why we can never lose Drop because her changes are reversible 💧 #scienceSTC #loveSTC @marymyatt.bsky.social

We are enjoying exploring animation in class 3 - today we are making moving animals. @accessart.bsky.social #lovestc #stcart

Class 6’s classroom is looking magical with the work we did on the book ‘The Comet’ by Joe Todd-Stanton. Such a thought-provoking book! ⭐ #loveSTC

Class 4 have been doing some brilliant scientific drawings. Using their observational skills to explain why they have classified them into their specific animal group! 🔍 #scienceSTC #loveSTC @stemlearning.bsky.social

Fantastic short burst writing in class 3. We have been writing a diary in character as Little Red Riding Hood… #englishstc #lovestc @piecorbett.bsky.social

A very special visit from Hay Festival today, who kindly donated their '50 Books to Fall in Love With' books to STC. We love the strong partnership we share with Hay Festival and the opportunities they bring for our children.

Class 4 loved looking at different animals and using their observational characteristics to classify them. We loved using the ‘Variety of Life’ quality text for images. #scienceSTC #loveSTC @marymyatt.bsky.social @stemlearning.bsky.social

And the trumpet players are off too! So lovely to hear them beginning to make a sound during their first lesson today… #lovestc #musicstc

Classifying vertebrates and invertebrates - Class 3 are feeling inspired by our fantastic quality text to explore the features of animals. #lovestc #sciencestc @marymyatt.bsky.social @teacherscollection.bsky.social

Class 3 are working hard to learn two patterns to play along to our new South African song… #lovestc #musicstc

So lovely to see Mr Jones (our woodwind teacher) back in school today. Some children are returning to their instrument and picking up where they left off last term, and others are very excited to be getting to know their new instrument! Exciting times… #lovestc #musicstc

Class 3 have shone when drawing continuous line drawings of animals today - our drawings will become like flickers or memories! @accessart.bsky.social #lovestc #artstc

Class 2 loved showing off their painting skills in our Art cold task! They explored how to mix paints to create new colours before using their creativity to paint a picture of their choice. #artstc #lovestc

Class 3 have been learning new vocabulary ready for their story. It’s a warning tale - can you guess the story? #lovestc #englishstc @piecorbett.bsky.social #talkforwriting

Welcome back to all our children! We have had a busy and exciting first day back at school! #loveSTC #unitySTC
