We are using a new scheme in school called 'Letterjoin'. All of these children have impressed their teachers! Their magnificent work has been displayed on our writing display near Mrs Parker's office.

Year 2 have been very busy this half term learning a dance with our sports coach for the Urban Extreme Dance competition. Their routine was to 'Friend Like Me' from Aladdin. Fingers crossed their entry does well in the competition. 

Year 3 looked at WW2 Propaganda Posters and the messages that they gave to try to encourage people to 'Dig for Victory', or to keep their children safe by sending them to the countryside.

Using a more modern day approach to create posters, Year 3 used piccollage (on the ipads) to recreate their own messages in WW2 style.

Can you guess the message they are trying to promote? (some of their piccollages have been cut off when uploaded!)

Year 5 had a brilliant time with Freddie Fit today. What a fabulously fun exercise class. 

Freddie Fit woke Year 3 up with some energetic exercises this morning, a fabulous way to get us all super fit.

We coloured stained glass windows in Y6 to celebrate St Andrew's Day. 

This half term we have worked with our Sports Coach to learn and perform a street dance. The children have worked very hard and have a lot of rhythm.

This week we have also taken part in the 'keepy uppy' challenge. 

Today we had fun exploring shadows. We made hand shadows and drew around them. We also made shadows using objects made from different materials. We found out that opaque objects make better shadows than translucent or transparent objects because they block all the light that hits them. 

Look at Year 5's exceptional paintings of Hokusai's wave that is represented in recreating the front cover of Kensuke's Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo. The children created these collages by mixing paint and creating a sunset that was then embellished with Hokusai's wave. The Peggy Sue was then strategically placed upon the wave. Excellent work Year 5!

During isolation, Year 5 have been working super hard. Look at the work they've brought in for display. Fantatsic work Year 5!
