We have had a fantastic day experiencing the culture of India. The children have produced silk prints, made onion bhajis, learnt about different spices, listened to a variety of music, a themed Indian lunch and a range of art activities including mehndi and rangoli patterns. Thanks to everyone who made this day possible.

Today we experienced painting African Masks and playing African Djembe Drums. We learned about their different culture, used creativity and lots of different skills: particularly in music and art. #musicisalanguagethewholeworldspeaks

We have finally completed our 'Art is Llamazing' project. Each class selected a different artist to study and then decorated a llama inspired by their artist. 

Y3A - Vincent Van Gogh
Y4D - Henri Matisse
Y4/5G - William Morris
Y5/6N - Paul Klee
Y6B - Joan Miro

We are so proud of our creative children and adults.

Today, we have interviewed candidates for Art and Computing Ambassadors. Miss Davis and Mrs Nunnington were extremely impressed with every child. 

 

It was a difficult decision but 10 Art Ambassadors and 4 Computing Ambassadors were selected. All other applicants agreed to act as Relief Ambassadors for their chosen role.

 

A big well done to all those who applied and congratulations to the successful applicants.

As part of their 'What on Earth?' Topic, Y3A and Y3/4D looked at the problem of single use plastic. They have created a giant mural using plastic bottle tops. #EveryChildIsAnArtist

 

It will be displayed outside the Breakfast Club room. Thanks for all your donations.

In the Summer (Term 6) Y3 and Y3/4 will be studying the Geography topic ‘What on Earth?’. They will be learning about a wide range of environmental issues and looking at Making Ethical Decisions. As part of this topic, they would like to carry out an Enterprise project to create some artwork by recycling/reusing plastic bottle tops. They need a variety of different colours and sizes of plastic bottle tops. 
Thanks.
