Freddie Fit woke Year 3 up with some energetic exercises this morning, a fabulous way to get us all super fit.

We coloured stained glass windows in Y6 to celebrate St Andrew's Day. 

This half term we have worked with our Sports Coach to learn and perform a street dance. The children have worked very hard and have a lot of rhythm.

This week we have also taken part in the 'keepy uppy' challenge. 

Today we had fun exploring shadows. We made hand shadows and drew around them. We also made shadows using objects made from different materials. We found out that opaque objects make better shadows than translucent or transparent objects because they block all the light that hits them. 

Look at Year 5's exceptional paintings of Hokusai's wave that is represented in recreating the front cover of Kensuke's Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo. The children created these collages by mixing paint and creating a sunset that was then embellished with Hokusai's wave. The Peggy Sue was then strategically placed upon the wave. Excellent work Year 5!

During isolation, Year 5 have been working super hard. Look at the work they've brought in for display. Fantatsic work Year 5!

Year 3 had a brilliant morning of outdoor learning fun. We shared a magical story about a fairy and her loyal friend Shadow. Then we made our own forest creatures using leaves and sticks. We also practiced our maths skills doing arrays using bark chippings, leaves and sticks.

Year 4 had a great time during their Outdoor Learning Day!  As well as planting trees around the school field with City of Trees, they used their photography skills to take photographs using forced perspective!  The results were brilliant but, most importantly,  everyone had great fun!  

Year 4 are enjoying their current topic about Christmas around the World.  They had a real treat when Miss Laitil gave a presentation about Christmas in Poland recenty!  They even had the chance to taste some Polish treats such as Barszcz (Beetroot Soup), Paszteciki (Mushroom Parcels) and Makowiec (Poppy Seed Cake).  The class used what they had learnt to write their fantastic non-chronological reports.  Well done!  Mrs Blomeley

Here is the home learning for anyone self isolating this week.  Don't forget Education City also has lots of activities set too.

Stay safe!
