This term, Year 2 have been learning about Edward Tingatinga. They explored different paints before completing their final pieces in the style of their artist. They chose different African animals that they had been learning about in geography for the basis of their pieces.
Year 6 enjoyed their residential at PGL Caythorpe. The children all pushed themselves to try new experiences and took part in a variety of activities including: abseiling, giant swing, archery, zipwire, ambush, orienteering, nightline, canoeing and a disco.
Burghley House – Tuesday 8th October
Year 1 went on a school trip to Burghley House as part of their history unit on toys and childhood. They had a tour of the house and learnt all about how the Victorians lived. They then were able to look at different Victorian artefacts and had to guess what they were used for. They particularly enjoyed trying on the old hats. The class then had a workshop making toys that would have been used by the Victorians, and they enjoyed sharing their new toys with each other.
Year 2 have been learning about communication as part of their PSHCE work. This week they practiced their listening skills by listening to step by step instructions for drawing an alien. They then compared it to the image that had been described.
Puppets
In Textiles, Year 1 have been designing, making and evaluating puppets. The children chose a character from the tale of 'Little Red Riding Hood' to turn into a puppet. They learnt how to join using glue and decorated their puppets following their design.
We had an exciting visit from Jonny Urszuly, the 2017 winner of the Ninja Warriors UK TV programme.
Sports Day - Running Races
On Monday 15th July 2024, we held our annual Sports Day with many parents and carers spectating. The children competed in running races in groups against their peers to score points for their house.
Field Events Day
On Thursday 11th July, the children were placed into groups of four and competed against their classmates to earn points for their house. Shot put, standing long jump and javelin were just some of the events that the children participated in. Year 6 ran the events as sports leaders for the rest of the school.
Year 2 have been working hard on their art project this term. They have learnt how to thread a needle, sew, plait and knot! They then used all of these skills to create a sea creature to showcase their learning.
The children in years 1 and 2 have been enjoying their time at nature club this term. They have been learning all about the world around them and creating some lovely artwork to showcase their learning. This week they learnt about mandalas and practised making some beautiful, natural mandalas using what they could find in their area.
Break the rules' day, Year 4 rebels.
