This week, as part of our Remarkable Writing Day, Turtle class recreated a scene of a lighthouse in a storm by honing their skills in water colours. We used a stained-glass effect to create our images, and we re very happy with the results! VIPS @Kingshill ( @VIPSKingshill ) Jan 16, 2026 A huge thank you to @AldiUK in Kings Hill for their kind donation of oranges.
The children had great fun making their Christingles for our assembly today #thankyou #Christmas VIPS @Kingshill ( @VIPSKingshill ) Dec 17, 2025 This week, Turtle class has been consolidating our knowledge of stained-glass windows by making our very own church-inspired suncatchers to brighten up the classroom!
