The sun shone as Key Stage 2 walked to Wyndham Park, yesterday afternoon, for their final painting session of the term. After studying a range of techniques used by famous artists, they used watercolour to create master pieces of their own. All of their paintings are displayed in the computer suite – do come and have a look!

Children in Class 1 and 2 enjoyed walking to the park, looking for evidence that spring has finally arrived. They also had good fun playing in the play park together.

Parents and pupils were entertained with poetry and song as children recounted their learning in Science and French.  They also performed a play highlighting the importance of caring for God’s creatures, linking this to their work on environmental issues this term.

All the children were engaged in a variety of practical activities to promote the learning of Latvian, Hungarian, German and Dutch, supported by several of our bilingual parents. Mrs Brown started the afternoon by teaching everyone how to sign  the song, ‘Colours of the Rainbow’ using sign language, after which children gathered in small teams to complete 4 activities.

The afternoon was concluded with a game where children were able to show off their learning.

The school was very grateful to all the bilingual parents who gave up their time to support the learning of other languages this term.

Congratulations to all the children in today’s Golden Book.

For those who managed to attend Nursery and Reception’s recent assembly, it was evident that they have all grown in confidence throughout the year.  The audience were treated to the retelling of ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff’, to songs and to pupils showcasing their learning about emotions.

Children in Class 1 had a wonderful day at Sacrewell Farm today. The weather was very pleasant and children had the opportunity to engage with a variety of farm animals at close quarters. It appears the star of the show was the proud peacock, who displayed its tail feathers for the class several times throughout the day!

We’ve been thinking about reducing plastic pollution.  One way to help our environment is to promote the use of a ‘Bag for Life’. Today we’ve entered a competition to design a ‘Bag for Life’ for Aldi that promotes eating fresh fruit and vegetables.  Have a look at our designs.

Today, in their OAA session, KS2 worked as a team to create a shelter for their group, using materials provided, under a timescale of 15 minutes. I’m not sure whether they would want to sleep in them outdoors, but they managed the task successfully.

Congratulation to the children whose learning was celebrated in our assembly, today.
