The theme was art

Here are the children waiting outside....

Then everyone works together,  leading to interesting conversations...

... and great teamwork.

 Lots of concentration...

... and careful techniques.

A fantastic session. Our feedback says it was enjoyed by all. Well done everyone!

The Olympics - again!

Here are Year 4's Olympic Rings (above) and one of their flags (below)

Jesson's was also visited by former pupil Ruth Griffiths [the bloglady's daughter] and Tom Campbell from Signal 107's Breakfast Show.
They have been running daily videos showing their own version of the Olympics. Here, they were filming a cycle race on the Dudley Velodrome (also known as Jesson's Car Park)
Here's a link to their video

What's been happening at Jesson's during the holiday?

We're running a holiday club. Here we have fun with books and bricks

I don't know if she was offering me money to go away and stop spoiling their fun?

Outside there's lots of work going on....

...we're extending our parking. This is for a ramp.

The Small Hall floor is being stripped and sanded.
Mr Rowbottom sweeps up some of the wood dust.

Mr Mitchell is having a major clear-out
