Year 6 have been looking at creating depth through one point perspective. We created a railway station scene, where the tree lines, station building, tracks and platforms appear to disappear into the distance using a vanishing point.
Today, Year 5 had our Christmas party. The children had a great time in the hall playing games, dancing and eating lots of treats. We had a Christmas quiz in class and started watching a Christmas movie. Well done Year 5 for excellent behaviour and a brilliant morning.
Year 5 enjoyed their end of the year Christmas party today.

We put different amounts of vinegar into 5 separate bottles. We filled 5 balloons with the same amount of bicarbonate of soda. We then attached the balloons to the bottles, mixing the vinegar and bicarbonate together. This caused an irreversible change and created gas within the Read more
This morning we had a special Christmas treat in Forest School, we made smores! We started a fire safely with the help of Miss Dewhurst. We then talked about being careful around the fire and took it in turns to cook our marshmallow over the fire. We sandwiched it between two chocolate biscuits and then enjoyed our treat, Yum!
Last week we enjoyed making our Christingles in class. Before making them we learnt about their importance and what each part of the Christingle represents.
Our whole school has taken part in a Christmas Trail to show the Christmas story. Each year group were given a different part of the Christmas story and then produced art work to show this.
Thank you to all the parents who came and celebrated year 3&4 christingle service last week. The children really enjoyed singing for you and making their christingles
