Year 5 Art Week
Thu 23 Jun 2022The children in Year 5 have been enjoying Art Week immensely, creating lots of amazing pieces connected to our theme of ‘fire’.
In addition to lots of fire-themed artwork, the children have studied the life and works of Pop Art innovator Andy Warhol, and they have all produced beautiful and detailed work in their sketchbooks based on this.
As well as this, an enormous – and rather ferocious-looking – fire-breathing dragon is beginning to take shape outside 5B.
The children cannot wait to show you their work.

Year One - Poetry
Thu 16 Jun 2022In English this week, the children have been looking at several poems about 'hands'. We thought about what hands do and wrote our ideas down. The classes wrote poems with a repeating pattern and we had fun practicing and performing them to each other.
We have taken a few videos of children reading their poems. Why not watch!

Year 5 Cams Models
Thu 16 Jun 2022In our Design and Technology topic, the children in Year 5 have created moving toys with cam mechanisms.
The children have worked really hard to investigate, design and construct their moving toys. To begin with, each child made prototypes to investigate the movement of the various cams. They experimented with a range of cam mechanisms, including hexagonal and snail cams, in order to make their figures move up and down or round and round.
The children have really enjoyed the project and are very proud of their toys.

Year 6 Careers Day
Wed 15 Jun 2022Year 6 Careers Day was a great success. The children spent the morning thinking about what sort of careers they would like when they are older and in the afternoon they had the opportunity to meet people from a wide variety of work environments and ask them questions about their jobs, training and aspirations. We hope the day has really help to broaden the children's horizons and raise their aspirations.
