Foxes Class have been developing their painting skills this half term so far as part of their Art learning The children carefully followed a landscape painting tutorial and showed fantastic focus, perseverance and creativity throughout the session. We are incredibly proud of how hard they have worked to practise different painting techniques. Using their new skills, they will now move on to creating their own beautiful paintings inspired by the stunning Lincolnshire Wolds. It has been wonderful to see the children approach their learning with such enthusiasm and joy!

We couldn't be more proud of Mitsy! A fantastic Year 6 role model, Mitsy is kind, caring and academically talented. Alongside her success in school, she has been working hard behind the scenes to develop her many talents. We're delighted to celebrate her signing for Grimsby Town's Emerging Talent Centre and being recognised for her acting during auditions for the HBO Harry Potter series. Despite these incredible achievements, she remains wonderfully down-to-earth At East Ravendale, we love seeing our children shine, follow their dreams and discover the unique gifts God has given them. Mitsy is a wonderful example of our vision to inspire independent, inquisitive and self-motivated learners who know they are safe, valued and wonderfully unique. Your whole East Ravendale family is incredibly proud of you, Mitsy. Keep shining!

Makaton Club with Mrs Simpson is back! Our Makaton Club has enjoyed a fantastic start to the year by learning signs linked to a season that many people love... autumn! Learning Makaton across our school helps to create an inclusive environment where every child has a voice. It supports communication when using spoken words may be difficult, helping children to express themselves, understand others and build meaningful connections. By learning Makaton together, we are developing empathy, confidence and respect, ensuring that everyone feels welcomed, valued and able to participate in school life. Through Wonder, Belief and Joy, we celebrate different ways of communicating and encourage every child to shine.
