  • had fun with maths puzzles and pictures
  • thought about "Me & My World"
  • met Nanny Piggins
  • listened to some beautiful music during assembly
  • swam in the rain
  • enjoyed an afternoon at the beach, showing off our creativity, design and flair!! - check out the photos in our star gallery!

Busy, busy, busy - and, we've got a lot more to achieve next week, including getting ready for camp.


The class have really settled in well and are demonstrating themselves to be a bunch of caring, motivated, engaging and fun group, who are relishing the learning opportunities that are coming their way!

Watch this space as we continue to share our future achievements, activities and successes!

5S - Swimming

We don't let a drop of rain get in the way of learning here at Wellesley! 5S enjoyed a morning swimming session in the school pool - a bit like a hot bath remarked some!
