Media such as wax crayons, water soluble pencils, watercolour paint and Hb sketch pencils were used to create the sense of fear and anxiousness the people in the underground tube stations would have felt during […]
As part of their writing, Swans children created mind maps to represent different parts of the story, this was to help them organise their work. They used watercolour paints to illustrate the different emotions Olive (the main character of the story) was feeling at different points of the story.

The Swans enjoyed making cakes out of play dough to represent the life long learning dispositions: curiosity, resilience, strategic awareness, creativity, collaboration, meaning making!

The Swans have been busy preparing their class display ready for their new geography topic on Australia!

First they identified the axles, suspension etc on existing rovers. They then used different types of pasta and polos to create their own. […]
The swans have been practising their number skills of doubling, trebling, addition, subtraction and multiplication by playing Darts! They had so much fun!
