Last term a team of artists from Orleans House Gallery came to work with Year 6 to create a piece of poetry inspired by the exhibition currently running in the gallery. This week Year 6 have visited the gallery to see the exhibition and to take part in a workshop on the use of line drawing with a theme of ecology and sustainability. The curator of the gallery was so impressed by our questions and drawings, she said that David's question was, 'The best question she had ever been asked' – 'Can a historical building also be considered art?' Phin also had his poem featured in the exhibition – well done to year 6!

During the run up to Christmas, the children were fundraising for CAFOD World gifts, the event was such a success, and we appreciate all the effort from the children and also their parents/friends that supported them. The final total raised was £1,633.00 which is a fabulous amount. Each class was then able to choose what gifts they would like to buy from CAFOD. The list of purchases has now been sent to CAFOD and they have extended their thanks. "Thank you to all the staff, parents, friends and students at St Edmund's for being there for our global family. It means so much to us that you have reached out to our brothers and sisters around the world".

On Thursday our Reception and Year 1 classes enjoyed a ZooLab workshop, which provided the children with a rich variety of activities and learning experiences under the supervision and guidance of their expert ZooLab presenter. The children learned about how to care for different animals and recreate the conditions they need to inhabit in order to thrive. As well as practicalities such as food, shelter and exercise, the children were reminded of the emotional aspect involved in caring for other living things that need our love and respect if they are to thrive.
