Super Scientist
In Year 3 we have been learning about Vertebrates and Invertebrates. Look at this amazing learning from one of our Turtles! We sorted animals using the iPad to help and explained how animal’s skeletons are different.
Junk Modelling Buildings!
We have been junk modelling different buildings. We took inspiration from the temples visited by Hindu's as part of their Diwali celebrations.
We looked at the different shapes, colours and sizes. The children then looked at all of the available resources and independently chose what they…
Hand art to create a menorah
We used our hands and sponges to create menorah art, as part of our learning about the festival of Hanukkah. We carefully positioned our fingers to create nine candles before adding the flames to the candles using a sponge. We discussed the significance of the menorah to Hanukkah.
Musical maestros
Year 6 used music technology to practice composing four bar melodies. We experimented with pitch by using a piano keyboard, seeing how the notes move on the musical stave.
Den building!
Year two showed our school values today by working together in teams to create and build a den. They showed super team work, determination, communication skills and friendship by supporting and encouraging eachother.
Clay, bugs and mud!
Year 4 had great fun making clay creatures, mud paint and mini habitats for worms!
Sorting Objects by Size

Canvas Painting
Today we began creating our art inspired by textile artists by painting our sea inspired background on fabric. We found it tricky at first but the results were great!
Fine Motor Rangoli Patterns!
This week we have been learning how Hindu's celebrate Diwali. We looked at 'Rangoli Patterns'. These are patterns drawn on the ground and traditionally decorated in sand. We loved the look of them and used our fine motor skills to decorate our own.
We used the tweezers to pick up different…
I pad painting
Today we used our i pad to create pictures of hedgehogs. We used different colours and techniques to draw their spikes, spines and to add detail to our picture.
How can the ocean effect the weather?
In Geography this week, we learnt about how the oceans regulate temperature, rainfall and gases in the air. We then discussed how the atmosphere is like a greenhouse around the Earth and this is called the Greenhouse Effect.
