In Art the children designed and made a mandala which can be used as a sun catcher. At break time they collected autumn leaves. They used the autumn leaves to create a circular pattern which they tried to make symmetrical. Amazing art work.

The children recapped over last week’s lesson and identified the lines. The children were shown a range of the work of Zaria Forman. The children were asked to […]
In English, we are looking at the story of Cinderella. We have learnt skills such as using commas in lists, prepositional phrases and have tried to use adventurous vocabulary. Today we wrote our story opening and tried to include these skills. Here is some of our work so far:
The Owls had a great first day back on Tuesday. We had an immersion morning to launch our new topic on Crete. One of the activities was to make 3D maps of Crete using plasticine. In the afternoon, we did Forest School. The children had a great time feeding the birds, making s’mores and making […]

The reception children became artists and used ‘loose parts’ to create a collage. The children were encouraged to use the ‘loose parts’ to create fireworks. Great work Kingfishers.
In maths this half term, both year groups have looked at place value. We identified what each digit represented in a two or three digit number and could partition given numbers into hundreds, tens and ones.
