The children in Year One became ‘artists’ and thought about the question – Can we draw in the style of Kandinsky using different media to create a picture of the Houses of Parliament? The children learnt about the artist Kandinsky and used his artwork to inspire them. The children explored and experimented with different drawing […]
The Swans have been using their shading techniques to create a sense of form in their Titanic sketches. Don’t they look fantastic!
The Swans have begun to learn about the Titanic disaster in History. We researched some of the passengers on board and created ‘Who am I?’ booklets. In English, we wrote diary extracts in role as one of the passengers.

On a very warm day, we held our sports day. Kingfishers and Woodpeckers in the morning and Swans and Owls in the afternoon. A great day was had by all – with the Green Otters being the winners! Well done to all the children and thank you to everyone who helped on the day.

The children also took part […]

This half term in Geography the Year One children are exploring London. This week the children were able to identify and describe landmarks of London. The children were challenged to walk around the classroom, looking at the London landmark cards to answer questions, ticking the boxes to show the correct answer. Great work Kingfishers.
Kingfishers Class were very excited as they had received a very important letter. Miss Jones opened the envelope and read the letter from Richenda Elton (Lady in Waiting) who was writing on behalf of the Queen. The letter was thanking the children for sending congratulations cards for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
