Portraits

This week, the children explored their artistic side by creating their very own self-portraits using wax crayons and printing techniques — and the results were amazing! Well done, artists — your work is as wonderful and unique as you are!

Space Week

As part of Science week, we have created our own planets using water colours and we used chalk to create our backgrounds. We also tried some foods that Astronauts would eat in Space. We tried different ‘Freeze dried’ fruits!


Super Chocolate Workshop

Today, we had a fabulous chocolate workshop to celebrate Black History Month. Our governor, Agnus Fough showed the children how chocolate is made and how it is transported to the UK. Then they tasted three different types of chocolate and voted which one that they liked the best. It was lots of fun and we all learnt a lot. Thank you Agnes!


Play Leader training

Our Year 6 play leaders completed their play leader training with Geoff and came up with lots of ideas of games they could play with the Year 1 and 2 pupils at break. They have some fantatasic ideas and we cannot wait to see them in action on the KS1 playground.
