Month: November 2018

Diwali

Year 1 learnt all about Diwali today. We talked about the festival of light and why diva lamps are lit. We had great fun using our creative skills to make our own diva lamps and we are looking forward to decorating them later in the week when the clay has dried.

Remembrance Day

Ahead of Remembrance Sunday, Year 3 walked into a their classroom and had a ‘snowball fight’ with paper. Afterwards, they unfurled each piece of paper to see that each one represented 1000 lives during WWI. We then read In Flanders Fields before doing some independent writing inspired by some WWI photographs.

 

Demonstrating Our Values

Well done to the children, who have been recognised for demonstrating our values this week. Discipline was a popular value this week.

Yesterday saw many children enjoying the Autumn weather learning outdoors; today looks like it’ll be just as bright!

 

Phonics

Year 2 have been outside today learning our common exception words. The children have loved using chalk to help them learn the words.

Outdoor Adventures

Year 6 got into the spirit of Outdoor Learning Day by working in teams to create natural pieces of artwork.

Outdoor Art

For Outdoor Learning Day, Year 3 have been collecting natural resources on our school field and then, taking inspiration from the artist Andy Goldsworthy, have created their own pieces of outdoor art.

Natural Art

Year 2 were inspired by the art work of Andy Goldsworthy. The children went out into the school grounds to find natural materials to use in their work. They collected lots of leaves, twigs, seeds and stones. They then worked together as a team to make natural art. What do you think?

Symmetry

As part of Outdoor Learning Day, Year 4 had great fun practising their estimation skills in preparation for next week. Following this, they made symmetrical pictures using natural resources.
