Brambles Primary Academy

Inspired by the amazing coral reef sculptures of artist Courtney Mattison, Year 1 Cherry created their own clay coral reefs. The children explored different shapes, textures and patterns to represent the beauty of underwater coral ecosystems 🐠🐚🪸

🎉🎂 Happy Birthday to our wonderful 5 Chestnut class teacher, Miss Bourke! 🎂🎉 Have a wonderful day!!

A big thank you to all the parents and carers who attended our Year 1 Family Fun Afternoon.😜 It was wonderful to see such a fantastic turnout! The children had a great time taking part in a range of fun activities based on the topics they have been learning about in class: Brambles at the Beach and Animals Including Humans. Thank you for joining us and helping to make the afternoon such a success!😄

In Year 4, we have been looking at still life drawings. Last week, we drew a fruit bowl and focused on the composition. This week, we have drawn it again and then added a mosaic effect to add colour.

Year 2 worked brilliantly together to create their own Bee-Bot mats before putting their programming skills to the test! Using directional instructions, the children carefully guided their Bee-Bots to discover where the pirate had travelled.
It was fantastic to see such great teamwork, problem-solving and communication skills as the children worked together to plan routes, follow directions and debug their commands when needed.🐝🏴‍☠️

Year 1 enjoyed smoothie making in their DT day today, we did some fruit tasting, listened to the story 'Oliver's fruit salad', designed our perfect smoothie then had a go at cutting and blending! We then finished the day tasting our sweet smoothies!

In Year 4, we have been reading the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears but in French - Boucle d'or et les Trois Ours! We then matched the key French vocabulary to the pictures.

This week in Year 3 we have started our new unit in English.
We are reading ‘The Journey’ and today we begun by imagining walking through our own ‘big red door’ and talking about what was on the other side.
We used drama, mind maps and talk partners to come up with some imaginative responses.
