Reception - Making Pizzas!
Our Reception children had a wonderful time making their very own pizzas this week! As part of their learning about instructions, they carefully followed each step — from spreading the sauce to sprinkling the cheese — and discovered how important it is to listen, sequence, and follow directions. The best part, of course, was enjoying their delicious creations!
Year 6 - Visiting the RAF Museum!
Year 6 enjoyed a fascinating visit to the RAF Museum this week, where they explored the history of flight and discovered the important role the Royal Air Force has played over time. The children were excited to see real aircraft up close, experience a wartime classroom and to learn about the experiences of pilots and engineers during different periods of history. The trip not only enriched their understanding of World War II and beyond, but also inspired curiosity about science, engineering, and the bravery of those who served.
Year 2 - Imitating Piet Mondrian's Art!
Year 2 have been exploring the work of the famous artist Piet Mondrian, known for his bold use of straight lines and primary colours. The children carefully imitated his style by creating their own striking designs using vertical and horizontal lines filled with blocks of red, blue, and yellow. This activity helped them to notice how simple shapes and colours can create powerful artwork, while also developing their precision, creativity, and appreciation of different artistic styles.
Year 1 - Painting Fun!
Year 1 had a wonderful time exploring colour mixing this week! The children experimented with blending primary colours to discover the exciting new secondary colours they could create. Once they had mixed their paints, they used the bright new shades to decorate inside handprints, producing beautiful, unique pieces of art. This activity not only encouraged creativity but also helped develop fine motor skills and an understanding of how colours work together.
