Christmas!, by Mrs Barclay
Date: 20th Dec 2023 @ 2:15pm
Class 1 have worked really hard to create their Christmas cards. We used oil pastels and watercolours to create a lovely Christmas tree. We had a go at drawing some of the shapes we have been learning about including triangles and circles.
We also had a go at creating the stable. We used brown paint and made marks using a lollipop stick to create a wood effect. We then ripped the masking tape and stuck it to the roof to create a straw effect. Have a look at our lovely drawings of the characters from the nativity story.

We entered a design a bauble competition, had a Christmas concert, visited the theatre for the panto and ran in an Elf Run. Along the way we raised £850 for St John's Hopsice and we paid to wear our jumpers by bringing a gift for the foodbank. What a time to have fun and be thankful.

Black History Month - Home Learning, by Mr Pugh

We have had a very interesting half term thinking about British Black History.

We have thought about what is meant by DIVERSITY and how difference makes the world more exciting and interesting. We learnt how Mo Farah, Floella Benjamin and Laurie Cunningham had to fight prejudice to become icons of sport.

We worked as a team to plan how much of each juice should be in our drink and then make it by measuring the capacity we had decided on. We loved tasting our drinks and working together on something new!

Date: 10th Jul 2023 @ 2:12pm
Two weeks ago, Class 2 were invited by St John's Hospice and 'Nourish' to take part in a community picnic and activity day at Williamson Park. Unfortunately, the event was rained off! However, representatives from the hospice very kindly brough us lots of delicious fruit for us to make fruit kebabs, just like we would have done at the event. So, last Friday, Class 2 had a lovely afternoon making fruit kebabs and painting their pebbles with hearts, to contribute to a large art piece. The hospice reps will be collecting our pebbles, along with a donation from school, to promote the fantastic work they do.
