We are on the coach on the way to The Anderson Centre.

Lots of excited faces first thing this morning.

Year 4 studied the famous Russian Artist Wassily Kandinsky, who was well known for starting the abstract movement in art. They drew their pictures in his style and then colour-washed their work with water colours.  Finally, they filled in the shapes with coloured pens and outlined the patterns with black.  Their brilliant artwork is now exhibited on our "Great Artists Through Time" display in Key Stage 2.  Amazing!  Mrs Blomeley

Year 4 invented their new brands of water, straight from the mountains and rivers of the world, with amazing qualities!  They used techniques they had studied in their persuasive writing lessons, such as rhetorical questions and statistics,  to create eye-catching adverts. The results were brilliant!  Well done Year 4!  Mrs Blomeley

Where else would you find the River Nile alongside Mount Fuji?  Or The Colarado River close to Mount Everest?  In Year 4 of course!  For their Creative Homework task during our last topic "Where does water come from?" the children created a combination of 3D models and amazing artwork for their chosen river or mountain.  They presented their creations with facts and figures, which has led to an impressive geographical knowledge of the world's best known rivers and mountains.  Well done Year 4!  Mrs Blomeley

Year 3 enjoyed participating in the 'balance challenge' they said it was much harder than they thought!

How long can you balance for? We tried to balance for 3 minutes.

Year 6 enjoyed the 'Challenge me' activity today which was to balnce on one leg for 10-20 seconds and then to create thier own balance.

They all smashed it!!

We now have our own Worry Monster in our school hall. This allows children to put their worries in and our Worry Wizard Champions help children dealing with worries. We have mini monsters being made, for each class to share. 

As a part of our science topic we have been learning about nutrition and importance of a healthy diet. Today we found out what is a recommended amount of salt and sugar a day and that there is sugar and salt hiding in our favourite drinks and snacks. We also investigated, by looking at the labelts, how much sugar and salt is in our food.
