Year 5 have been exploring printmaking.

After looking at the work of Andy Warhol, the children designed their own stencil based around a Christmas theme.

We are going to use our stencils to create wonderful Christmas cards.

Year 1- Christmas Assembly 

A huge thank you to everyone who made our Year 1 Christmas Assembly such a special event. The children put in so much effort and enthusiasm, and it was truly heartwarming to see their joy and excitement shine through as they performed. Well done year 1! 

Year 1-Design &Technology 

How can we stop a tower from toppling over? The children have used various resources to make towers in class this afternoon. We talked about the size of the base and how to make it balance. 

We also looked at a picture of The Leaning Tower of Pisa and talked about…

The children explored the life of Galileo Galilei.

They discovered he was one of the first scientists to explain how the Solar System revolve around the sun.

Also, how his discoveries and improvements with the telescope helped our understanding of the universe.

Penny D 5A, ‘I really liked…

Today was the big day for Reception’s Nativity.  The children all performed brilliantly and we are very proud of them all. The singing raised the roof and the acting was outstanding. Especially well done to everyone who had lines to say.

We use our phonics knowledge to help us make and read words independently.  

Such lovely afternoons spent with our friends reading books and enjoying each others company.  #specialtimes

Today the children retold the First Christmas Story to their parents in our nativity assembly. They sang and danced beautifully and reminded us of the true meaning of Christmas. Well done nursery children!

Year 1- Christmas Prayers 

We have been thinking about who we would like to say a special Christmas prayer to over this festive period. Each child designed their own prayer to share with the class. 

Physical Development, Expressive Art & Design

The children are using their fine motor skills to decorate wreaths, Christmas trees and snowmen this week. They are also wrapping gifts for under the tree and making magical reindeer food bags. 

We love a good snack time in Reception.  We enjoy a range of healthy snacks in class each afternoon and the children enjoy helping to prepare it.  We practice our fine motor skills, by spreading butter and jam and pouring out our drinks, we practice maths, by working out if there are enough chairs…

Year 1- Art-Painting

This week Year 1 have been looking at the artist Piet Mondrian a Dutch painter. They created their own pieces of artwork using primary colours.
