Art – Collaborative printing

In Art, Class 1 have begun their topic of printing. They learnt that applying different amounts of pressure creates different prints. We printed using our hands to create a background. We will then use this as the background for line drawings.

Lost and Found

Class 1 found a suitcase in the classroom! We decided to look inside to see who the suitcase might belong to. We found a penguin, some postcards from Antarctica, a fish and a hat!

We found the book Lost and Found and enjoyed learning how to draw a penguin in a drawing tutorial.

Looking for signs of winter

We used the cold weather as an opportunity to go hunting for signs of winter. We found evergreen trees and deciduous trees that had lost all their leaves. We also saw a robin and fungi growing. Then we had some fun playing on the icy grass!

Tag Rugby Winners

Huge congratulations to our Tag Rugby teams who received high praise for their sportsmanship and their respect for the game in the competition yesterday. We entered a Y5 team and a Y6 team this year and they both did really well. Unfortunately as a competition goes, they eventually had to play each other, and the Y6 team knocked out the Y5 team. The Y6 team then went on to win overall, they won every match played. We celebrated this in our Friday achievement assembly today and all received an applause. All children will also receive a certificate.

Class 1 visits Blists Hill!

Class 1 visited Blists Hill as part of our history learning on what life at home was like in the past.

We took part in a Delivery Day workshop, delivering post to Goldilocks’ cottage, the drapers for Little Red Riding Hood and the bakery for the Gingerbread Man. We learnt how to dip candles and how clothes were washed in the laundry.

We loved travelling back in time for the day!

Online Safety

This week Miss Darmanin led our half termly safety assembly with a focus on Online Safety. Children were reminded of the SMART safety rules and they discussed each element. A huge well done to everyone, Miss Darmanin was very impressed with how knowledgeable the children are. They were all reminded to share the SMART safety rules at home and to always make sure grown ups are aware of their online activity.
