This week Year 2 have been looking at seascapes. We really liked A Great Wave Off Kanagawa by Hokusai and decided to create our own versions. We used what we have learned about warm and cool colours and foreground and background to create some amazing images! 

Fletcher and Isabelle are two of our budding Guitarists, who have lessons with Mr Ashford from Shropshire Music Service every Thursday morning.

Other pupils are learning different instruments, including Flute or Keyboard with Mrs Kirkland. Did you know we also have our own Drum Kit, and professional drummer Mr Banks visits for lessons on Tuesdays. Classes in KS2 have also been learning Samba drumming with our Music teacher Mrs Hughes.

Learning to play a musical instrument is a great hobby, and all music pupils can take part in weekend workshops and everything from rock bands, folk orchestras and choirs at the Music Service.

This week, the Reception class have been looking closely at fruit and vegetables. We used magnifying glasses to see if they had any seeds. The children then thought about words to describe the smell and the texture of the food. 

Over half term, Year 4 have made some amazing models of rivers – they have been labelled to show all of the knowledge the children took from our half term studying rivers. We’ve had drawings, computer designs, Lego, cardboard, mudrok, paper maiche and clay – all of which have been amazing!

Thank you to everyone that spent any time making a model or drawing a picture – it has been lovely to see how much you have learned and how well you can make your own river!

Year 2 have been learning all about different ways to communicate as part of our tolerance week. We have learnt to write our names in braille and sign some British Sign Language.
