Summer Term Provocation

Posted on Monday 9th June 2025 by Academy Author
This image depicts an outdoor educational or entertainment activity, likely at a school. A large group of young children, predominantly wearing blue tops, are sitting on the ground, facing a small raised wooden stage or platform. On the platform, two adults are present. One adult, wearing a blue t-shirt and black trousers, is standing on the left side of the platform. The other adult, also in a blue top, is standing more centrally and appears to be leading the activity, possibly interacting with the children. Behind the stage, there are two blue wooden sheds. The shed on the right has various musical instruments or sound-making objects attached to its exterior, such as pans, cymbals, and colorful tubes, suggesting it might be a "sound wall" or similar interactive display. To the far right, another adult, dressed in a blue jacket, is standing near a wall or building. The setting appears to be a school playground, with brick buildings visible in the background and trees overhead.

2025 Bear Hunt

Posted on Thursday 5th June 2025Thursday 5th June 2025 by Academy Author
In this indoor classroom setting, several young children are present. In the center, two girls are holding an open book and smiling at the camera. One girl is wearing a light blue and white checkered dress, and the other is in a blue long-sleeved top and dark skirt. A boy in a white polo shirt and dark shorts is standing to their left, looking towards the camera. Other children are visible in the background, some sitting or lying on the floor, and one boy is engrossed in an activity on the right side of the image. The classroom features a large screen, shelves with various educational materials, and a "Feelings box" on the left. The floor is carpeted with star-shaped decorations. The overall atmosphere suggests a lively and engaging learning environment.
