Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Year 4 have been exploring the work of Kimmy Cantrell in art. The children have started to create some fantastic masks in the style of Kimmy using clay.
This week Nursery have been learning about different materials. We enjoyed exploring the magnets and finding out which materials were magnetic in our classroom.
This week we are enjoying ‘Little Red Riding Hood’. We have been predicting what we think will happen, asking and answering lots of questions and retelling the story. We are going to continue to deepen our understanding of this story this week and next.
This week in art, year 3 have continued to handle and manipulate clay. We have controlled the material to achieve a desired effect. We experimented with different tools to create different patterns.
Year 5 have been enjoying their geography topic about coasts. They learnt about coastal erosion which is the process where the sea slowly "eats away" at the land, wearing down cliffs, beaches, and rocks.
Year 1 have been observing wild plants and garden plants in Science. We enjoyed using an app to identify different trees and plants. We then planted our own wild plants and are going to keep a plant diary of the changes over the next few weeks.
Year 5 have been really enjoying ERIC time (everybody reading in class). They are enjoying a variety of texts and have even been doing a book swap!
This week we have been learning about ‘one more’. We have used our one more robot, created one more staircases and played the bus stop game outside. Our bus travelled around the outside area and ‘one more’ child got on each time we stopped. We used the sentence stem ‘one more than… is…..’. Well done Reception!
This week Nursery started learning about our artist, Henri Matisse. We enjoyed looking at his work and we then attempted to make our own by cutting out shapes with coloured paper and making a collage design. Well done Nursery!
Today we have started looking at the artist Paul Priestley and have developed our previous skills adding chalk to charcoal to create different tones. We have used the process of blending to smoothly create shade to create depth.
