Year 1 - Making Paper Art!
Year 1 had a fantastic time in their art lesson this week, getting hands-on with a fun and creative criss-cross paper weaving activity! Using brightly coloured strips of paper, the children carefully cut and threaded them through slits in their background sheets to create eye-catching woven patterns. This activity not only sparked their artistic flair but also helped develop their fine motor skills and concentration. The classroom was full of excitement and pride as each unique piece of artwork came to life — what a colourful display they’ve made!
Reception - The Gigantic Turnip!
Our Reception students have had a fantastic time diving into the classic tale 'The Gigantic Turnip! While enjoying the story together, the children took part in a range of exciting activities inspired by the book. From retelling the story with plenty of teamwork, to exploring how vegetables grow, their curiosity has truly blossomed. The class even began learning about different types of vegetables, planting seeds, and observing what plants need to thrive. It’s been a wonderful way to connect storytelling with hands-on learning — and who knows, we might just grow our own gigantic turnip one day!
Year 4 - Reading in the Peace Garden!
This week, our Year 4 students enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing reading session in the beautiful Peace Garden. With the sun shining down and the gentle breeze rustling the leaves, the garden provided the perfect backdrop for diving into their favorite books. Students settled on benches and picnic blankets, completely absorbed in their stories, whether it was an exciting adventure or a thought-provoking mystery. The tranquil setting not only made reading even more enjoyable but also encouraged mindfulness and a deep connection with nature. It was a wonderful opportunity for students to unwind, recharge, and discover new worlds through the pages of a book.
Year 3 - Egyptian scrolls!
This week, our Year 3 students took a creative journey back in time as they crafted their very own ancient Egyptian scrolls! With the classroom transformed into a mini archaeological workshop, students carefully created their scrolls using papyrus-like paper, decorating them with hieroglyphics and symbols that tell stories from the past. They learned about the significance of these scrolls in ancient Egyptian culture and how they were used to document history, mythology, and important events. The students loved channeling their inner historians and artists as they brought a piece of ancient history to life, gaining hands-on experience in the fascinating world of ancient Egypt!
