In Year 4 we have been weaving loom designs in the style of the Anglo-Saxons who we have been studying through this Autumn term. The children have loved learning this new skill and making their own designs!

This week in Nursery, children have been practising our Christmas performance.  They have been working very hard on remembering their words and singing songs loudly!  We can’t show any photos because we don’t want to spoil the surprise!  However, Buddy, our cheeky elf, has been getting up to mischief including getting involved in our play.

In the Reception class this week, we have book reading the story of ‘Mrs Armitage on wheels’. We used construction kits to make a new vehicle for Mrs Armitage. They were very creative!

The weather is starting to get colder, but the children have wrapped up warm to enjoy another week of outdoor learning.

This week Year 1 had a DT day. We created cars using cardboard, wooden dowelling and wooden wheels. First, we designed our cars in groups and labelled important aspects on our plans such as the axle, wheels and the roof. Then we created our cars by working co-operatively. Well done Year 1!

Over the last two weeks, the Reception class have been learning about Diwali, the 'festival of lights'. We listened to the story of Rama and Sita and made Diva lamps to guide them home after their long journey. We also made Diwali cards and created pictures using some Rangoli patterns.
