How lucky are we! Recently, a past pupil now working in illustration, has kindly used her connections to acquire a selection of new picture books for the school. These all had personal messages and drawings on the inside cover from the illustrator Kate Hindley.
Today the class made air powered vehicles using their DT skills.
Mrs Gentry kindly brought in a bird’s nest to share with the children. The children were amazed by it and decided to have a go at making their own using the hay we had in the classroom.
Class 4 accessed the music materials created by Sky Arts. They investigated our instruments in school then created musical score cards playing their pieces based on a character from these.
Last week, KS2 looked at the artist Nathan Wyburn, who uses different materials to create portraits rather than paint or drawing media. Known as 3D mark-making, they used wool to create an image from their own self portrait.
Class 1 have loved having caterpillars in the classroom. We have seen them get fatter like the Hungry Caterpillar and spin cocoons. We even got to see one of the butterflies emerging from the cocoon. It has been fantastic to experience the children’s excitement as they checked on them every day and observed the changes. Yesterday we said goodbye as we set them free.
