Today we released our beautiful butterflies. What a magical experience it has been for our F1 children. ✨🐛🦋🐛🦋✨💫
Year One used natural materials to print with during our Art and Design lesson. We really enjoyed gathering the materials and investigating how to get the best results when printing.
This week Year Two have been writing a retell of The Secret Of Black Rock. They have also been thinking about the differences between hot and cold places and what they would pack if they were to visit them.
Y3NRO - today we had fun passing, throwing and catching water balloons during our PE lesson. 💦
What a show 🎶 Our KS2 children gave a brilliant performance yesterday - featuring orchestra, recorder and guitar groups and a wonderful choir finale. So much talent on one stage. Thank you to everyone who came along to watch and support the children 🌟
MR England’s outdoor learning club! The children had a ‘berry’ fun time collecting all the home grown berries. 🍒
Y3NRO - 🧵 Year 3 have been busy learning the running stitch and back stitch in preparation for making their very own coin purses, card holders, or wallets!
A huge thank you to the adults who came in to support us with the sewing; we couldn’t have done it without you! 💙 #Year3 #Textiles ...#SewingSkills #CreativeClassroom
Last week, our choir visited Northfield Care Home - and they were absolutely superb 🎶. It was a wonderful morning filled with music, smiles and special moments.
We had a very successful visit from Boggledybooks. Thanks to our very generous families we were able to add 45 new books to our library. Happy reading everyone!
Year 2 enjoyed using a range of media in order to draw a piece of artwork linked to the creation story in RE. Together we read the creation story and then each child was assigned a day from the story. They then had the challenge of creating a piece of artwork to show their day of creation. Don’t ...they look wonderful 😁
Year One have been telling o clock and half past times. We have really enjoyed using the clocks in our lessons this week.
In F1 today we have been making salt dough mini beasts. Don’t they look fabulous! 🐞🐛🪲
