Just want to say a big thank you to sculpture club. They were fab at listening and learning about the different paper sculpture techniques this week! Check out what they have done below. A few more techniques to show them next week, but they have been set a challenge to think about what they’d like to start to make. Ensuring they apply some of these techniques to create something 3D!
Crew Knowles have been creating some beautiful planet artwork and mobiles which look great displayed in the classroom!
Check out the September – October timetable for the opportunities being offered by East Family Hubs.
Today, the children created their own Blitz artwork. We used watercolours to create the background before placing the paper silhouette of the city skyline over the top!
Year 6 PE and XP outdoors will take place on Fridays. This will require two different kits so children will need to be prepared!
PE kits should be plain green or white t-shirts and black shorts or long bottoms. Trainers will be needed for PE.
Further information about XP outdoor kits can be found below:
Year 2 PE will be on a Wednesday.
Please remember to send your children with the correct PE gear, which is a green/white polo shirt, shorts/leggings and a jumper or jacket if required because of the colder weather, as well as trainers. Please remember not to send children with football/other sports kits! 🙂
We always recommend bringing a bag with your PE kit and having everything labelled with your child’s name.
This Friday (6.9.24), it is our dress up day to hook the children into their Expedition. They are welcome to come as anything medieval! They could be kings, queens, dragons or jesters – whatever links to castles, but please don’t worry about buying a costume!
On Tuesday 15th October it is the Family learning for Year 1. This will begin at 1.30 in the afternoon.
For Year 2, your family learning is on Thursday 17th October. This will again be at 1.30 in the afternoon.
We look forward to seeing you all and the amazing costumes!
Well done to Phoenix who has been learning about the ‘Make do and Mend’ campaign during the Second World War, where people were encouraged to repair and reuse clothing when possible. Phoenix has been practising using his mum’s sewing machine and over locker and we can’t wait to see what items he can make!
We have all enjoyed a lovely trip to our local Methodist Church today. Where the children were asked to put themselves in the shoes of the children who were evacuated during WW2. They used some wonderful vocabulary to describe feelings which made me very proud! We also had a short introduction to one of our new class texts which shared the evacuation story of the main character, Lennie.
Ask them at home what they can remember about how the evacuation process worked or what they were allowed to take with them in their suitcase!
Here they are looking sad (on purpose) and working hard in some of the activities we asked them to take part it.
After a short introduction into WW2 evacuation and the usage and purpose of gas masks the children set to making their own with an ID lable too! These were then taken with us to the Church, so that experience could be a little bit more realistic for them! Great job guys!
