Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
This week, year 3 and 4 have continued with their art topic ‘drawing, painting and colour’. They continued to think about perspective and created excellent A4 landscapes and then explored a range of watercolour techniques such as wet on wet, dry on dry, blending and focusing on their brush skills.
This afternoon, some of our year 3 and 4 children had the opportunity to take part in a workshop with the Royal Ballet. They absolutely loved it and it was a fantastic afternoon full of movement and dance.
In our Art topic the children have been introduced to Claude Monet and Henri Rousseau . The children compared the two artists exploring what they thought the images represented and how it made them feel, then the children haven been practising a range of techniques with their pencils.
This week, year 3 and 4 started their art topic focusing on the artist Harold Riley. We explored perspective and sketched out some landscape drawings using perspective to help us.
KS1 have really enjoyed joining a session of storytelling and illustrating with The National Literacy Trust. Their drawings were amazing. We are so proud of you all!
Today, Y3 and Y4 joined a live lesson with the National Literacy Trust in attempt to be part of the ‘most people reading online in twelve hours’ Guinness World Record attempt. The data has been submitted to the team at the Guinness World Records! π€
This week we have enjoyed our class poem ‘On the Ning Nang Nong’ by Spike Milligan. We have created our own poetry maps, played music and learned the poem off by heart. We loved using imagery to draw what we see in our imagination when we hear the poem.
This week LKS2 have continued explore settlement. This week we were introduced to three places in the North- West; Liverpool, Blackpool and Cartmel. In groups we researched and found out facts about these three locations. We recorded our findings on a COWWs grid. We were able to find out which location was a town, which was a village and which was a city.
Today, 10 of our Y3 children represented school at a Manchester City Football Festival β½οΈ. They had a brilliant time and demonstrated fantastic sportsmanship. Well done to everyone involved!
It’s been a another great week of learning on Key Stage One.
The Year 2 children have been working on place value this week in Maths and ordering numbers smallest to greatest and vice versa.
In Guided Reading, we have been using dictionaries to locate words and find their definitions - this is a very tricky skill but they did really well.
In Year 1 children have been learning about 1 more and 1 less in Maths.
They have been fantastic Phonics superstars.
The children thoroughly enjoyed a 'Let's Say' for Poetry Day. We imagined that we were waiting for a steam train and had to decide where we were going and what we were going to do at the destination. Well done Year 1
