We have had so much fun completing our sponsored bounce for Children in Need!

We created poppy lanterns and artwork to remember those who have helped and continue to help keep us safe. We have had some brilliant artefacts from home brought into school to share with us too!

For Parents - Fortnite Updated Controls

With the Fortnite game as popular as it ever was, it's important that parents of children who play the game are updated on parental controls which will assist. There are quite a few features within Fortnite which may appear overwhelming so Internet…

Today we visited the cenotaph in the village. We looked carefully at the words engraved on the memorial and shared our thoughts about what they meant. We also performed the poem In Flanders Fields by John McCrae to the rest of the school.

In history/English we have been learning about the story of Guy Fawkes and The Gunpowder Plot. Today we wrote wanted posters to help the king find Guy Fawkes.

We have been creating Kandinsky style artwork using circles and triangles!

We've done lots of science this term - we have placed pumpkins (both whole and halved) inside and outside and hypothesised which would rot first, we have made nests for hibernating hot water bottles and measured which ones stayed warmer for longer, and most recently, we have gotten the colour out…

Today in art we started our final ‘printing’ priced of work. In this lesson we chose leaves to make a repeating  pattern frame to surround our work.

After looking at wheat and all the wonderful things it can produce, we have made our own loaf from flour! 

We each had a turn at pouring the water, mixing the batter into a dough, and then kneading it. Afterwards, we tasted it! I was very pleased that everybody tried some. 

In DT, we have made light-up canvases. We learnt how to make circuits with switches, use LEDs and also did lots of problem solving if our circuits did not light up.

We hope you like them!

We have been using pastel to draw pumpkin patches on our art books!
