Throughout Autumn 1, year 6 have been exploring a selection of paintings through art appreciation activities. Over the six weeks drew have been collecting ideas in sketchbooks and planning their final piece after researching the life, techniques and artistic intentions of an artist that interests them. The children have produced some excellent pieces of Art. Well done Year 6.
For our Design and Technology lesson we have been asked to make a healthy wrap. In the wrap we have been asked to think about the different food groups to include: protein -hummus, ham or chicken. Vegetables- tomatoes, cucumber or lettuce. Dairy- cheese. We looked at each food, felt it, smelt it then tasted it. We then had to decide which combinations would work for our wrap for example ham, tomato and cheese or hummus Read more
Thank you to all the parents who joined us for our shared learning experience! We loved sharing our science lesson with you. We learnt all about absorbent and waterproof materials by carrying out an investigation. We used the curious caterpillar to plan our investigation and recorded the results in a table. We found out that materials like cotton wool are absorbent and bubble wrap is waterproof!
We celebrated European Day of Language by answering the register in different languages, dancing to French music, learning how to count in French and we used Google maps to find different European countries and their landmarks. We love learning about different languages in Willows, we look forward to learning more French during French Fridays!
This afternoon Juniper have been carrying out a separating investigation. We used our knowledge of filtering and sieving to separate our river water back into pure substances. We used lots of equipment: filter paper, funnels, beakers, sieves. We discussed our ideas and planned our method. We finished with some fantastic results and made suggestions as to what went well and what we could improve in the investigation in the future.

This morning, Year 6 loaded the van before Mr Singleton delivered the donations, Read more
Today, Year 2 were very lucky to take part in a special workshop called ‘Circus Sparks’ with Mick from Skylight Circus Arts. The aim of the sessions is to use circus skills to promote confidence in children. Today, we learnt balancing skills with feathers, plate spinning and tricks, and began to learn how to juggle with scarves. Year 2 had great fun and it was lovely to see the big smiles and squeals of excitement Read more
This week we made nature pictures! They used leaves and other bits they found in the garden to create their masterpieces. To finish our final gardening club session for this half term, we played a few games of hide and seek. They loved it and some children got very creative with their hiding spaces! Thanks to all children who attended, we had lots of fun.
Oaks had so much fun at their shared learning. They worked hard with an adult to find out if certain materials were absorbent. Then we went to lunch! It was so tasty. thank you to everyone that came…and well done to the children, they were so well behaved!
