Year 5 have had a busy Art lesson today, sculpting materials and making structures using natural materials from the forest garden.
Year 5 had a fabulous PE lesson in cricket today, improving our batting and fielding skills and communicating with our team mates.
Year 5 had a very interesting debate in Geography yesterday around whether we should import food. Firstly, we arranged our sorting cards into diamond ranks by order of priority and spent time researching each point in more detail. We had two groups, proposers and opposers, and argued for and against the motion ‘People should always buy and eat food that is grown in their own country.’ We decided which side gave the strongest arguments and our Speaker of the House revealed the result of the vote.
Yesterday in Year 2, we created different textures as part of our Art topic ‘Flower Head’.
Yesterday Y1 were very excited because they finally got to make their rain gauges! It was hard work, cutting and labelling the bottle but we never gave up.
Afterwards, we explained what we had to do next and we made predictions. We hope it pours down this weekend! ☔️
Year 6 started their new topic, Inuit Art, by researching the subject and creating pic collages of Inuit art that they found appealing.
So impressed by our Reception children’s imaginative skills and Miss Bell’s, creating their own fruit characters using clay and natural materials.
Year 5 participated in a debate during English today, arguing the benefits and drawbacks of veganism.
As part of Reception’s topic ‘Ready Steady Grow’, we have been looking at the art work of Guiseppe Arcimboldo, who used fruit and vegetables to create portraits. We created our own portraits in class using apples, carrots, pears, oranges and bananas.
Y1 worked really impressively in pairs, keen to find different ways to organise the shapes!
