This week in Learning Means The World, the children have been practising, adapting and improving their printing skills. The children used lino pads and carving tools to create multi-layered block printed pictures. Well done Year 4.
As part of the Four Seasons project, we carried out an investigation to answer ‘Do all trees change colour in Autumn?’ We went on an autumn walk, observing and collected various autumnal objects. We discovered that some trees are deciduous and some are evergreen. We also learnt that some birds migratre south for the warmer weather.
With the things we collected along the way, we created some artwork inspired by Richard Shilling. We are really proud of our creations!
In 2 blue we are working on a Four Seasons Project and the first season we are looking at is Autumn. We have discussed what happens in this season, different types of trees and the colours and feelings we have during Autumn. We went on an Autumn walk and created pictures using Autumnal items that we found along the way.
It’s been a super creative week in 4 Blue, we’ve been creating not just in Learning Means the World but in English too. We’ve been tackling some Art during Learning Means the World this week and have been looking at Johannes Gutenberg and the invention of the printing press, discussing the mechanics of its use and doing some printing ourselves! Here are some of the pieces of artwork your children have created. 4 Blue have persevered, been innovative and resilient all week – well done 4 Blue!
What a busy week Reception has had. Lots of measuring capacity, length and weight! Sounds Write skills are being shown everywhere and it’s fabulous! So much creativity and team work ❤️⭐️❤️
In Year 1, we have been making bags for a fairy. We designed our bag yesterday and then today we made them. We had lots of rules that we had to follow so that the bag was right for the fairies, for example it needed to be small so they can carry it and it also cannot harm any nature so flowers were off limits! We took great pride in our creations and we were so proud of how our bags turned out and we hope the fairies love them just as much as we do!
This week in 4 Red we have been learning about the ‘tempo’ of music and how that can effect how music makes you feel. We explored this by creating some artwork inspired by music with different tempos The children have also composed some of their own pieces of music in the major key of C.

What a fabulous afternoon Reception had! Thank you to all the adults who came to support our stay and play! The children were so excited to show everyone around and it was lovely to see them proudly showing off! ❤️⭐️❤️
As part of our Learning Means The World Theme, ‘Powhatten People’, we found out that Pochahontas attended a masquerade ball and had to learn how to dance. This was very different from the customs she was used to in her tribe. We made our own masquerade masks and learned how to do a dance typical for that era.
A great week in Reception. We are using Rainbow Fish for our English jobs. There has been so much creativity and writing linked to this fabulous story! Reception showing off their talents as always ❤️
