Perform for schools’ at Buttercup school

/in /by

To celebrate ‘Book week’ this year, we have organised the ‘Perform for schools’ company to come to our school and run exciting workshops with each class. The workshops used children’s natural love of drama, role play and improvisation to spark their imaginations and stimulate their interest in Literacy.  Each year group took part in a workshop linked to the topics they learnt this term.

EYFS- The gingerbread man, Yr 1 – Rumble in the jungle, Yr 2- Roam in the rainforest, Yr 3 and 4- World War 2 and Yr 5 and 6- King Lear (Introducing Shakespeare). The children immersed themselves into the experience and had a wonderful time acting and performing together. It was great to see confidence growing amongst many children who do not usually like to perform in front of others.

Emdad Rahman OBE from ‘BOOKBIKELONDON’ dropped by once again with some fantastic adventure books for our key stage 2 children. There was excitement in the air as the children could not wait to get their hands on the books and read them! Thank you Emdad for supporting our school with your kindness and providing much needed resources that will benefit the children now and in the future.

World Down Syndrome Day 2024

On March 21st we observed World Down Syndrome Day at Buttercup. The theme this year was ‘End the stereotypes’. The children discussed how people with Down syndrome and intellectual disabilities, stereotypes can stop them from being treated like other people. People with disabilities have the right to be treated fairly and have the same opportunities as everyone else.
