Year 4 Linking Project

Today, our linking project school, Littleborough Primary came to visit us for the day. Touchstones also joined us and delivered two workshops. They were a shadow puppet workshop and a body movement workshop and were both based around the book The Crown by Emily Kapff. We had lots of fun meeting up with our partner school again and look forward to going to their school later in the year.

Soap Sculptures

In our art lessons we have been learning about sculpture being a form of art. One of the artists we have looked at is Barbara Hepworth and the sculptures that she has created. We were then given the task to create our own sculptures out of soap. Have a look at some of our creations!

Year 2 Elm Forest School

Today in forest school Yr 2 Elm learnt about different habitats around the world and what animals live in them. They got into pairs and went hunting around to match the animals with their correct habitat. Some of the children wanted to make worm habitats and make mud pictures of their favourite woodland creatures. We had lots of fun exploring in the sunshine this afternoon.

Clay tiles-Space

We have been practising using clay this half term and have made a clay pinch pot and this week a clay tile. We used our Science theme to create a space tile. We created three different designs then picked our favourite to make using clay. We used different techniques like  score and slip to create our designs.

Forest School Fun

Year 1 have enjoyed forest school this half term. The children collected natural materials and used them to create some clay creatures. They also hunted the area for mini beasts and were able to identify lots. We also talked about how all the creatures in forest school were important and how we could look after them.
