Our exploration of colour continued in nursery with orange. In the book ‘How do you make a rainbow?’ by Caroline Crowe and Cally Johnson-Isaacs, the little girl and her grandad make tiger masks. We used mark making, cutting and sticking to make some too!

Nursery are reading ‘How do you make a Rainbow’ by Caroline Crowe and Cally Johnson-Isaacs. In the story, red is for love, friends and enjoying jam on toast. In our pupil planning, we decided we’d like to try that. So we make ‘yummy’ jam sandwiches that were ‘so nice.’ We loved them! ❤️

It's #WorldDownSyndromeDay - and to celebrate, we have a lovely story time for you!

Inspired by our brilliant Clare Wallace's shortlisting, today's #DATips are about what makes a good agent! Obviously being Clare Wallace is a key consideration, but what else should we be looking out for?

YES!! Huge congratulations to Clare Wallace - brilliant, kind, an excellent editor and my agent of the year every year

'My dog Sam has a superpower.
He doesn't wear a costume. He can't fly. And he definitely can't make himself invisible.
Sam's superpower is #happiness .'
