This week to bring their winter wonderland topic to a close, Year 1 enjoyed a Polar Express experience day.

The children were given a ticket to the experience and a bell as a keep sake of their special day. ❄️🚂🤍

Reception class went into the forest to find a place for their hedgehogs to hibernate for the winter.🦔🌳

This week, year 4 have started to follow their designs to create their own Anglo-Saxon homes. The children have used a variety of materials and resources to make sure their homes are secure for our Anglo-Saxon settlement on Monday.

This week, Year 6 have been reading a text called 'The Tunnel'. The text focusses on the impact of Air Raids during WWII. We sounded an Air Siren and the children worked in candlelight to imitate what would have happened during a Blackout.

Year one have been learning about the importance of Advent to Christians and traditions that take place during this time. To mark the start of Advent, the children made an advent wreath that symbolises that God's love is eternal. 🕯🙏

Nursery made the most of the snow during their Muddy Monday session this week! They painted the snow using coloured water in bottles to decorate and design, mix and experiment. To recreate this at home, find an old water bottle and make a small hole in the lid (or use a squeezy bottle), add a few drops of food colouring, fill with water, then wait for snow!❄️❄️❄️

This week, Year 3 have been painting their Henri Rosseau inspired drawings. They have learned how to create different shades of green paint using blue, yellow, black and white 💙💛🖤🤍🖌

To start Advent, the children have created Christmas windows of light. Take a look as you walk past when it goes dark. 🌟✨🌟
