Learning and Exploring

Date: 24th Apr 2026 @ 8:04am

This week, Team 1 have had a fantastic time learning and exploring new activities.

We spent some time outside cloud watching, which was a lovely way to relax and use our imaginations. While we were outdoors, we also practised mindful breathing. We used a simple technique: breathing in slowly as if we were smelling a flower and breathing out gently as if we were blowing out a candle. These are great strategies the children can use to help themselves feel calm and settled whenever they need to.

We also had an exciting visit from Zoolab (see our previous blog for more details), which the children really enjoyed.

In addition to this, Team 1 have been busy designing and making slider mechanisms. The children created beautiful underwater backgrounds and added moving sea creatures such as sharks, axolotls and whales. It was wonderful to see their creativity and engineering skills come together.

Great job, Team 1 – we have had such a fun week of learning!

Love Ms Mitchell and Mrs Powis xx
