Year Two - Art and Visitor
Fri 26 Jan 2024We have had a busy week this week, which finished with an exciting afternoon. We enjoyed making our collage in the style of Henri Matisse. We looked at examples of his work and then had a go at cutting and tearing paper to create our own masterpieces.
After that we had a visitor during our RE lesson, who came and talked about the Seder plate and what this means to Jewish people. We were able to talk about what we had already learnt and asked some interesting questions.

Cave baby inspired Art work
Thu 25 Jan 2024This week we have been enjoying the book Cave Baby by Julia Donaldson. We have been inspired by the art work in the story. So, we decided to paint with mud in the Nature Reserve with sticks and brushes. We even used our hands so we got very muddy- and loved it!
Art in Nature is great fun.

Year One - How good is your sense of smell?
Thu 25 Jan 2024In science, we have been learning all about the body and this week have learnt about the senses. The children had to use their noses to identify different smells. Some they liked and some they weren't keen on! They looked really closely at their own eye and drew a picture of it.
Next week we will move on to the sense of taste!!
Who will be brave enough to taste everything?

Year 4 Fantastic learning
Fri 19 Jan 2024On Monday, the Year 4 children took to their fortnightly visit to the Nature Reserve. The activity this week was to develop their art skills with using the medium of charcoal. The children produced some amazing sketches.
This week our spelling rule is using the suffix - sure. We discovered that when you read sure as a suffix, it is not the same sound as when you read it as a single word. We had lots of fun speed writing our spelling words and using dictionaries to discover the actual meanings of the words.
In English, the children have been writing persuasive letters to Mrs McCann on the subject of abolishing school uniform. What are your thoughts on this subject?

Year 3- Friday 19th January
Thu 18 Jan 2024This week, in our English sessions, year 3 planned and wrote non-chronological reports about a new species of animal we imagined might be living in the Amazon rainforest. First we drew and labelled our mystery animal, and then we planned the different subheadings for our report. Finally, we spent the last two lessons turning our notes into full sentences.
In addition, this week we had our second Lacrosse lesson with our sports coach Emily. We are continuing to use a lacrosse stick to effectively scoop and throw the ball. We had great fun!

Year 4 -Sensational Chefs and Talented Gymnasts
Fri 12 Jan 2024What an amazing week it has been!
After a demonstration lesson led by Chef Probert and Chef Bowden, the children were ready to be EXPLORASUS dinosaurs and have a go at planning and making their own Italian Pasta Sauce. First, the children created story boards to show the stages of their recipe, using imperative verbs. When they entered the 'kitchen', they become amazingly skillful Italian chefs!
Washing, chopping, heating, stirring, mixing, pouring were some of their skills used, with finally thoroughly enjoying their own adapted recipes.
We are so delighted to hear that so many children are also re-creating this recipe at home too!
In Indoor PE, the children have been truly talented gymnasts, who displayed themselves as great COLLABADON dinosaurs. In this week's lesson, it was all about creating balances with a partner. They had to work well together,and keep on trying until they could hole the balances without falling over!
A fabulous week!
We are looking forward to our first visit to the Nature Reserve on Monday.
