• Art Morning

  Thu 29 Nov 2018

  Today, Sun Hill Infant School ran their annual art morning. Every year, the children and staff across the school mix together to create art work linked to the Christmas performance. Linking to our whole school focus of recycling, all the art work was created from junk to show how we can reuse rubbish.

   

  This year, Art Morning was a little different. Arts Council met over a month ago to discuss what they liked and would like to improve about the event. The children suggested that they would like to create a large, collaborative piece of art within their own classes. We decided that the children would create large abstract paintings on fabric. These are going to be stitched together and hung to create the backdrop to our Christmas performance.

   

  We also welcomed representatives from the Junior School to help the Infant children with their art work. The Year 5's were exceptional and incredibly supportive and encouraging.

   

  Thank you to all the volunteers and Junior experts that helped us on the day.

   

  Take a look at the photos below to see our fantastic creations!

• Odd Socks Day

  Tue 13 Nov 2018

  On Monday, everyone wore odd socks to school! In recognition of National Anti-Bullying week, children and staff wore their odd socks to celebrate their individuality. We explored how every person is different and that this is what makes us special and unique.

   

  Throughout the week the children will be learning about bullying behaviour and strategies to use if they feel they are being bullied. They will also be considering what makes a good friend and be awarding friendship tokens for respectful and friendly behaviours. 

  

• Remembrance at Sun Hill

  Thu 08 Nov 2018

  On Thursday the 8th November, pupils, staff, parents, governors and members of the community gathered together to commemorate 100 years since the end of WW1.

   

  Children from Year One and Two created beautiful tie dye fabrics that were displayed to represent poppies. If you would like to see more of the children’s textile art work, then you can see them displayed at St John’s Church this weekend. Children and families also created crosses from recycled materials and added these to our remembrance garden. 

   

  At the end of the school day, we gathered outside by the garden to sing songs together and Reverend Julie shared a prayer. 

   

  We would like to say a special thank you to Mr Eade for making the display frame and remembrance garden and to Mrs Davey and all the volunteers who worked with the staff and children to create our beautiful tie dye art work.
