Nursery have been reading the story ‘Winter.’ They have been using blues, purples and silvers to make winter themed art using excellent fine motor skills. Well done Nursery, great snowflakes! ❄️

Year 3 visited @royalmuseumsgreenwich last week. They saw images showcasing Shackleton’s journey, models of penguins and sea worthy vessels from voyages gone by. Well done Year 3!

We read with different year groups this week to celebrate National Day of Reading. The children loved reading to the younger children. They read with expression, impressive intonation and asked them questions to check understanding. The younger children were in awe of their older friends and it definitely brought the joy of reading into our classrooms. #keepconnected

Reception penguins. Reception have looked at line using paint, shading using chalk and drawn from a picture in art. They have created some amazing winter inspired pictures. Well done reception! 🐧

We represented Gainsborough at the Hackney Music Gala yesterday. Small and mighty, we joined the Hackney Borough Youth Choir and Berger to sing 2 songs from the Hackney music festival we took part in in the summer term. Well done Year 5 and Gainsborough choir, we are incredibly proud of you. #keepconnected

Reception have been cooking up a storm! They made jam, learning how to chop berries and how to turn fresh berries into food that can be kept over the winter. ❄️ Well done Reception. #keephealthy #keepgreen
