Y3/4 – Dog Safety Assembly with the Blue Cross Trust

24th April 2025Claire Dutton

On Wednesday, we were fortunate enough to be visited by the Blue Cross Trust who delivered a really important assembly all about how to stay safe around dogs – big and small! Children learnt how to read a dog’s body language as well as the right and wrong ways to act around dogs to keep themselves, the dog and others safe. Why not ask your child if they can remember some of the warning signs that a dog might be unsafe for them to approach or to pet?

Extended Study – World Art Day!

15th April 2025Sophie Myers

World Art Day is a day dedicated to creating and celebrating all types of artwork.

By celebrating World Art Day, it is hoped that this will encourage creativity, teach people about different artists and share a love for art all over the world.

It is celebrated each year, on 15th April, which is believed to be the birthday of the world famous artist, Leonardo da Vinci.

How many famous artists do you know?

Activity: Cubism colouring

Cubism is an art movement that shows people or objects from lots of angles at the same time. It often makes the artwork look broken up or like it is made from cubes.

Pablo Picasso and the artist George Braque invented Cubism as a new form of art.

Have a go at creating your own cubist artwork with an object from your home by drawing it from many angles or print and colour the cubist guitar below.

Bring your completed artwork to share in crew next week!
