Year 3 have been learning about the Stone Age. We have looked at cave paintings and used charcoal and pastels to recreate our own Stone Age art!

This week, the Reception class have continued to explore the story 'We're going on a bear hunt'. We tried to experience all of the things that the family did on their bear hunt. The children looked closely at the swishy swashy grass, they talked about what water felt like and they made some squelchy squerchy mud! We visited the little forest school area and acted out the whole story.

The Reception class have had a fantastic week and have all settled in very quickly. Our topic this half term is 'Let's explore'. We have explored the school grounds and got very wet in the process! We have also been reading 'We're going on a bear hunt' and have started to create a large collage map of the family's journey. Here are some photographs of what we have created so far.

This month Natasha in Year 5 made the selfless decision to have 34cms of hair cut off to donate to The Little Princess Trust! She did this in order for them to provide real hair wigs for children undergoing cancer and other advanced treatments. Along with the hair donation she managed to raise an enormous £540 to support the creation of a wig from her hair. Well done Natasha!

This week Year 3 have been learning all about snails. We have learnt lots of fascinating facts and also created some beautiful snail art.

This week in art, Year 4 have been looking at Scarab Beetles which has linked into our topic work on Ancient Egypt and also with our work on symmetry in Maths.  Some of the children got very technical with their drawings using mirrors and rulers to check their work was perfectly symmetrical!  What fabulous work year 4!
