In art, we focused on harmonious colours that sit together on the colour wheel. We then linked this to our Harvest Festival performance and created lettering in Autumnal colours.

Published 12/09/25Sapphire class had such a wonderful first week. It has been a pleasure to teach them and see new friendships blossom, as well as continuing established friendships. I am so impressed with how the children have handled the changes this week.

Well done Sapphire class, keep up the good work!
