Catapults

The children in Class 6 showed some fabulous teamwork today when they were making their catapults to capture a dragon 🐉 They had to work together to make their catapults, and to test them out-I look forward to reading all of your instructions that you will write tomorrow!!

Well done!

Teamwork makes the dream work!! 😊

Literacy Labs

This week we have started Literacy Labs in Year1. The children were fantastic at exploring and making dragons, we tried to make dragons that could fly!! The children worked together and solved problems to construct their flying dragons- We had so much fun testing them out! Well done Class 6!

Acrylic Poppies

 

I am incredibly proud of all of the Year 4 children today. They worked collaboratively to create a canvas per class filled with individual poppies in remembrance of those who died in the war. The children used acrylic inks to create their masterpieces.

Well done to you all! I’m blown away by the high standard of art work you have created.

The paintings will be displayed in the St Nicolas Parish Church for the week running up to Remembrance Sunday before returning to school to be displayed somewhere for all to see!

Phonics

This week in phonics our sounds have been ar, or, igh and er. As an activity maybe you could write the sounds on a card and then see if you can spot those sounds in your favourite book. Have a lovely long weekend!!

Creating Abstract Art

 

The children had a great morning exploring the works of Roger Hilton and the techniques he used to create his paintings.

We used charcoal to sketch the large shapes we saw around the school grounds then brought them back inside and applied a mix of water and PVA to add tone and texture to our sketches.

The children mastered this technique and I am incredibly proud of them all! I can’t wait for next Tuesday!

Phonics

This week in year 1 we have been covering ai, ee, oo and oa in our phonics sessions. Maybe you could ask your children to write some words with those sounds in like the examples above-don’t forget your sound buttons!!

If you bring in your sounds I will be giving out house points-I wonder how many words you can think of?

Outdoor maths

Class 6 had a go at using our awesome outdoor  space to do some number practise and some counting. The children really enjoyed themselves and I was really impressed with their attitude and engagement!!

Well done Class 6
