We held our curriculum Art Day on Friday 9 July. The children planned and designed their own pieces of work inspired by their research into the work and techniques of famous artists. The work was all linked to their class learning, and we’re sure you’ll agree that the pieces the children have created are worthy of the Tate! 

Our Year 1 children have been learning all about the Victorians. To immerse them into their learning, we planned a special Victorian day and asked children to come to school dressed up in Victorian clothes.

Children had the opportunity to experience what school was like in Victorian times. They were taught lessons in a Victorian classroom following Victorian school rules and discovered how the Victorians lived and who they were.

As part of their History topic, Year 1 children walked around the local area on Thursday 24^th June.

This term our Reception children have been learning about the global community to which they belong and exploring how living things, communities and climates differ around the world.

At William Byrd, our teachers are continually striving to develop and improve and on Friday 25 May, we had a ‘Teach Meet’ for teachers to share teaching tips, strategies and approaches.

Reception children have started their new project 'Puddles and Rainbows'. This project teaches children about the weather that happens during spring and allows them to explore natural phenomena, including rainbows. It supports them to explore colour in the natural world.
