Recently in Year One, they have started their new unit on Plants. The children have been learning about the difference between Garden and Wild Plants. They made some careful observations and the children enjoyed drawing what they could see.

Mrs Portwine and Mrs Watson say: Before half term, Year 6 class had a fantastic Forest School session. We enjoyed getting creative by making little characters from string, explored a range of activities during free time, and finished the afternoon with delicious sā€™mores around the campfire. Despite some very threatening rain showers, we just about managed to dodge the worst of it ā€“ hurray! A wonderful afternoon full of teamwork, creativity and outdoor learning.

Miss McQue says: This week, the Year 4 children enjoyed creating artwork inspired by the style of Rowan Leckie. They carefully used detailed line work and bold, contrasting colours to produce intricate drawings. The children then explored the ā€˜dripā€™ painting technique, applying vibrant washes of colour to create expressive dripped effects.

We learned about canopic jars, wrapped our very own ā€œpharaoh,ā€ and discovered why the Egyptians believed preserving the body was so important for the afterlife. A fun (and slightly gruesome!) history lesson!

Year 5 have finally finished their Haiku poems! Based on their core text (Kensuke's Kingdom), they wrote Haiku's about the stormy setting. Afterwards, they put LOTS of hard work into decorating their pieces. They look fab!

Itā€™s been an absolute pleasure to take Year 6 away on residential this week. There have been tears, laughter, tired faces, and lots of unforgettable memories made along the way.

The children have risen to every challenge and have shown incredible determination, resilience as well as the ability to function on much reduced sleep!!

A huge thank you to all the staff who came and supported me throughout the week. I genuinely couldnā€™t have done it without you.

I really hope your children have enjoyed themselves as much as we have. Every single one of them has been brilliant, and they should ALL be very proud of themselves.

Have a restful weekend, everyone.
