Hi Parents,

The blog has now moved to the news site of the new website which can be found on the home page and also here: latest news

We will leave this site up as an archive for older posts but will gradually close down as year groups leave the school.

Lunar New Year

The children have been learning about Lunar New Year.

They listened to the story of how each year is named after an animal. 
This year is the year of the horse.

The children used story props to retell the story.

The children had an animal hunt.
They made a list of the animals they found in the Lunar New Year story.

The children used scissors and glue to create their own lanterns.

Our favourite part of the week was tasting a range of food from East Asia.

 

Nursery - The Tiger Who Came To Tea

 

In nursery this week, children listened to

 'The Tiger Who Came To Tea' by Judith Kerr.

We talked about the story and whether the tiger was right to eat all of the food or not.

Children role played the tea party

And made our own plates for the tiger

 just in case he came back....

...but he never did.

Year 6 are enjoying their exploration of pop art

 In our art topic of Cityscapes, we've been looking at artists from the pop art movement.  Andy Warhol was famous for creating repeated images of celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe as well everyday objects such as soup cans. Often his work was brightly coloured and unrealistic.  This art came after WW2. Everybody wanted colour, change and a brighter future . This art was mass produced so was inexpensive.

We have taken the idea of Andy Warhol and created our own artwork. We hope you like them.

Design and Technology. Year 1

 We have had fun today learning how to make a sliding picture in our new topic moving pictures. 

Here are some turtles moving across the page with a slider. 

Science fact files- Year 2

 Year 2 triorama for Science. 

Year 2 have been learning about habitats in science and this week they explored ocean habitats and what animals use plants for in the ocean . They researched two animals that live in the sea; sea turtles and pufferfish. To display this information Year 2 made triorama with visual and written information. They had a wonderful time making them! 

Nursery - Body Percussion

 In nursery, children have been working hard on their Phase 1 phonics.

They have been listening to songs, finding the rhythm and playing along using their body; i.e. tapping, clapping, stomping and using their voices in some cases.

The children were very good at finding the rhythm and continue to build strong foundations for early literacy.
