This half term, Year 1 were focussing on ‘Woven Wonders’. We discussed Is it art? Thinking about how art is not just something we draw or paint but can be something made from different materials and patterns. We explored thread and had a try at plaiting, threading and knotting wool to make bracelets, we used paper weft to try weaving, and we looked at some pieces of art from different artists that had used these Read more
Year 2 have had the best day on our class trip to Imagine that. We have made lots of fun things and done loads of exciting activities. Well done to all the children who were very well behaved.
Year 2 had a fantastic time at Imagine That. They made slime, snow, magnets and bath bombs.
This week Reception have been reading the story ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’. Reception have been retelling the story and acting it out. Everyone has also taste tested different flavours of porridge, thought of their own adjectives and written an adjective for each porridge. They tasted a lemon, grapefruit, chocolate and syrup porridge. The chocolate one was definitely the favourite!
Year 5 have finished our architecture art unit by designing our own monuments. The children looked at famous monument examples and thought about how they would like to be represented. We then brought our ideas to life, annotating them to show what our monument means. We have also studied a famous artist / architect, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, and created artist profile pages. We researched facts about Hundertwasser and presented the information using his style of artistry.
During Music lessons, Year 4 have been looking at Rock n Roll. So far we have looked at different rock and rock artists such as Elvis Presley and Bill Haley. We have learnt how to perform the hand jive and are currently learning how to ‘ walk the baseline’ using the glockenspiels.
Birch have had a great day today learning all about VE Day! We’ve done some dancing, flag making, cabbage soup tasting… (yuck!) and had a lovely interactive Zoom call with the lovely Mr Dilly! We learnt lots from him and saw some amazing photographs.
Thank you to all parents and carers who helped us celebrate VEday! The children experienced life in the 1940s by making cabbage soup; looking through and working out how ration books worked; having a dance workshop to learn how to dance the Lindy Hop and had a 1940s lunch outside We all had a great day!
