In year 4 we have been learning about one of Brazil’s most famous artists, Romero Britto. We were inspired by his bright and colourful art work and used his ideas to create our own textiles, using material layering.
Yesterday afternoon, Year 4 answered the question ‘What is the commonwealth?’ Our year group choose Jamaica as our country to learn about. We looked at how Jamaica is part of the commonwealth and searched for Jamaica on Google Earth to see what it looks like.

LikeToday we had some very special visitors in Nursery. The chicks, which hatched last week in our reception class, came to see us. We all held them and talked about what they felt like. We could hear them making chirping noises too. The children were all very sensible. They understood that we had to be gentle and quiet with the chicks, to keep them safe and make sure we didn’t scare them.
As part of our “Full of Beans” theme, 5 Blue looked at the energy people get from the coco bean. Obviously, it was absolutely imperative that we find out how the coco bean is transformed from a bitter, inedible bean into the smooth, delicious chocolate we buy in the shops.
Feel free to ask one of us what we have learned at the chocolate factory.
Today we held our first special Attendance Assembly which will become a weekly event every Monday morning
An extra well done to 3 Blue who achieved 100% last week, 6 Blue and Reception Red who achieved 99%.
