Willow Class had a deliciously fun time on their visit to Nesbit House this week, where they learned how to bake cookies from scratch. The children returned to school with smiles on their faces and arms full of giant, freshly baked cookies. #Halstead #Hamberleycarehomes

Maple Class had a sensational time exploring slime this week. As part of their sensory learning, they squished, stretched and played while expanding their vocabulary and even using the slime for mark making. #Halstead

What an unforgettable day! Our incredible year 6 children worked together to build their very own go-kart from scratch and then raced it against 15 other schools! Our young engineers crossed the finish line in first place, in the class 4 finals. #Halstead #youngecoengineers

Saplings have embarked upon an exciting venture—designing and constructing boats. I wonder how the boats will get on next week when they float them down a river? #Halstead
