In science, the Swans made periscopes to see how they can be used to help us see things that are out of sight.
On Thursday 2nd March, it was World Book Day. This year, instead of the children dressing up – they dressed a potato as their favourite book character. The children were involved in reading activities throughout the day and there was the opportunity to share their potatoes in assembly just before the end of the day. […]
In the Owls class last week, for our DT project, we held a Great Biscuit Bake Off. First the children learnt to follow a basic biscuit recipe, practising skills such as creaming and sieving. The next day, we all tried adding our own extra ingredients to the basic dough. We did a taste test to […]
Kingfishers Class had great fun celebrating 100 days at school! To celebrate our 100 days of school, Mandy the school cook baked us a lovely cake! Thank you Mandy, it was delicious! The children had lots of challenges to complete in 100 seconds – Writing their name, seeing how many pegs they could put in […]
The children have been having lots of fun using the new balance bikes. The children wore a cycle helmet while using the balance bikes so they can promote safe cycling.
The Swans have busy working alongside a photographer and art practitioner. The aim of the workshop was to encourage children to connect with their environment in a practical and creative way and to question and examine their surroundings. This type of learning aids mental well-being allowing them as photographers to refocus their mind literally as […]
This half term the Year One children have been creating their own book – We’re Going On A Dinosaur Hunt. The children created story maps and photographed their own scenes to help them recall their ideas. The children have written their own stories. The Reception children worked together to create their version of We’re Going […]
In Owls, our French topic is ‘Chez Moi’, which means My Home. We have been working on our pronunciation and our listening. In the last lesson, we did a paired activity. One person would read a description while the other person had to work out which set of pictures was being described. The children’s pronunciation […]
In Art, we studied the picture ‘Children’s Games’ by Pieter Bruegel. We decided to create our own photo collage version of the picture including the modern games that we play. The children came up with all the ideas, created the scenes and took the photos too. Here are a few snapshots.
The children were all very excited as they received a letter! Miss Jones opened it and read the letter to the children. It was a letter from Sue and Graham – the people who came and presented the dinosaur workshop!
The children became ‘artists’ and thought about the question – Can we create natural 3D landscape pictures of dinosaurs, using found objects? The children found out about the artist Andy Goldsworthy and focused on his working methods and approaches and created a dinosaur using natural materials. The children showed great perseverance as it was quite […]
In art we have been painting using different tones. We have used Pablo Picasso’s painting ‘Guernica’ as as inspiration for our work. He used lots of symbolism as opposed to realism. We tried to link our work to our topic on The Transatlantic slave trade and created symbols to represent the horrors of this atrocity.
