Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Year 3 have become artist and have sculptured their own pinch pots. They are really proud of them and used clay and different tools to create their own designs.
We then painted them in colours of our choice and evaluated our final creations.
Today Year 6 played the game ‘Traitors’ with their reading texts. They had to answer the questions whilst also trying to decide which of their team was trying to sabotage them!
Last week Nursery started learning about the habitats of farm animals. To help us to learn about farm animals, we enjoyed reading the story, 'What the Ladybird Heard.' We then re-told the story through small world toys. We also enjoyed drawing pictures from the story.
Year 5 continued their studies learning about the coast this week. They learnt more about coastal erosion and the crack, cave, arch, stack and stump process. To aid their recall of this, the children used clay to construct a model of this phenomenon and wrote sentences to explain how each stage occurs.
This week, year 4 were able to show off all their amazing work that we have done recently. In coding, the children created their name and shapes on Turtle Academy. In Music, the children performed songs on the glockenspiels. In Art, the children demonstrated their incredible artistic skills in the style of Kimmy Cantrell. In Maths, the children tested their times tables knowledge and finally, in English, the children performed some of their recent stories to parents. It was amazing to be able to show all of the great work we have been doing and the children absolutely loved it!
This week, year 2 have been thinking about Tzedakah which is the Jewish idea of charitable giving. We thought about who the Jewish community might help and how they might help people.
Year 1 have really impressed with your weaving skills this week in art.
This week Year 4 have been exploring the Puja tray and listened to Bhajans within our RE lesson. We looked at each individual item on the tray and discussed why it was on there and why it was an important part of worship. Some of us even smelled the incense sticks, we definitely weren’t keen on the smell.
Well done Year 4!
Reception have been exploring the work of Piet Mondrian. We looked at the his painting and discovered his use of cubism and that he was famous for only using the primary colours in his work. We created our own paintings based on this technique.
