This half term, Year 1 are learning about the English sculpture Henry Moore. Today, we have looked at some examples of his work and discussed the term ‘abstract’. The children have spent time exploring what they can do with a small piece of playdough; pinch, roll, pull, push, twist.

Starting on the banks of the River Nile, Year 6 went on an exciting adventure through Ancient Egypt training to be a scribe. Whilst they were there, they were chosen to go on a very special mission through the Underworld but were met with a few obstacles along the way!

We kick started our RE learning this term with some group work. We worked in groups to recreate the life of Moses, to help us remember it we created freeze frames of his life.

This week, Year 1 have written information leaflets about snakes and newts. We have visited the Year 6 classroom to share our writing with the Year 6 children. We hope they learnt some new facts!

What a wonderful day Year 3 have had making sandwiches all morning and then getting to eat them this afternoon! Unfortunately the weather was not on our side today so we opted for an indoor classroom picnic at lunchtime instead. We’ve had a lovely day and enjoyed rating our sandwiches out of 10.…

Year 5 are making moving toys using cams. We started our build today. We got so engrossed in what we were doing we nearly missed home time! We will finish our builds next week.
