Reception - Baking Cookies!
Our Reception class loves cooking healthy treats during their cookery sessions each week, and we happened to come across them whilst they were in the process of mixing the batter for healthy oat, banana and orange cookies. Cooking is a fantastic way to encourage children to follow instructions, interact with mathematical concepts and produce a yummy dish at the end of it!
Year 3 - Charcoal Drawings!
Charcoal is perhaps one of the oldest artistic tools still used today, it's history dating back to 30,000 BC where it was primarily used to draw on the walls of caves. Our Year 3 students enjoying exploring the different ways to use charcoal during an science lesson where they designed different animal caricatures which look absolutely fantastic.
Auditions for a New Performance!
The auditions for our new theatre project took place today, and we had an absolutely astounding line-up of students waiting to audition, all of whom did a fabulous job! Deliberations for our final cast of characters will certainly be intense, and we hope to share the new members of this year's performing arts group very soon.
Interacting with theatre allows our students to tap into a new space for Muslim youth, and interact with familiar ideas and themes in a new and engaging way.
Year 6 - The Art of Story Structure!
The art of crafting an entertaining story involves multitude of different factors, including an exciting setting, a great cast of characters and a plot that will keep the readers turning the page! This week, our Year 6 students dipped their toes into studying the craft of storytelling, and their work included some notes about how to describe a fantastical setting - whether that's a leafy jungle, or the freezing mountains of the Alps!
