Today, we were very lucky to welcome teacher and author Miss Driscoll into school to work with the Year 3 and 4 children. She shared her book 'The Tale of Dif the Dragon' and read us the first chapter. We then designed our own dragons that could be part of the story. To end, we asked lots of questions about what being an author is like.
This morning, we welcomed Jessica from Corfe Mullen library into school to discover the summer reading challenge.

This afternoon, Year 4 performed their Leavers assembly to their grown ups. They performed a poem they had written about their time at Henbury, thought about their best memories and sang lots of beautiful songs. Afterwards, they enjoyed a cream tea with their grown ups while looking through their year books.
This afternoon, Year 4 were extremely lucky to work with Mr and Mrs Macklin who came in to support their computing learning. They showed some examples of their own animations and then helped the children make their own flip-o-ramas.
Year 4 were visited by the Dorset MHST this afternoon to support with their transition to middle school. The children discussed how they were feeling about moving schools and learnt some techniques to help with any anxiety or worries they were feeling.
This week, we have welcomed artist Des Alner into school to create a community art piece to help celebrate Henbury View First School being 30 years old! All children from all year groups spent time with Des, working with clay to create pond wildlife and plants. They used a range of different clay tools and techniques, working carefully and accurately to replicate shapes from inspirational images.
