Yesterday, Year 3 ignited their new project by coming into school dressed as Victorians. They all looked wonderful and it really helped bring their project to life! Our Victorian visitor brought a number of artefacts in to show us, including chalks and blackboards, pens and ink, canes and chamber pots (which the children particularly enjoyed learning about!) Here are some photos of the learning that took place:
It was great to see how focussed the children were when Paul Ten Brinks dad told the class about how he writes books. He explained about having small ideas and growing the ideas that take time and lots of thoughts. This will inspire the children to have a go at writing their own stories or fact books.
Thank you again for your time yesterday!
Year 2 have had a fantastic afternoon with Miss Broome working on food portraits inspired by Arcimboldo, The children worked in high learning zones to produce amazing art!
They talked about who Arcimboldo was and what he used to create his portraits.
They then looked at the fruit and veg they noticed and what parts of the faces they could identify.
Finally they created their own food portraits in the style of Arcimboldo. I am sure you will agree they look absolutely amazing and there are lots of high well beings!
Year 3 and 4 have had a fantastic afternoon den building as part of their ultimate survival project. We are creating a den for the shared space which all the children can use. It is looking great and coming together really quickly! Make sure you look out for it next time you are walking past… you can’t miss it!!
Year 1 on Countess Way ignited their next project yesterday, ‘Growing’.
We did lots of fun activities including:
Tasting fruit and vegetables from around the world and guessing where they come from.
Year 3 and 4 were lucky enough to visit the Caldecotte Xperience to ignite their new project ‘Extreme Survival’. They took part in bushcraft, archery and orienteering: skills people might need in extreme environments. Well done to all the children, they had a fantastic time and were brilliantly behaved.
We are really excited that tomorrow morning we have an electricity workshop coming to school. The children will build a city with Lego and connect it all to make a circuit with electricity. This should make the city light up and the vehicles move. Keep an eye on this page for photos tomorrow!
Welcome back! I hope you all enjoyed the half term break. Thank you to those of you who have already handed in your homework. You do have until Wednesday to hand it in so don’t worry if you haven’t had time over the holidays.
We have started our new project this morning which is Master Chef! In literacy we are learning about a story called ‘The Disgusting Sandwich’. We have started drawing our own text maps which help us remember all the important events and characters. Over the half term we will be learning how to become successful authors and write our own amazing food related stories!
