Rowan

Rowan have been adventurous with their art this week. We tried printmaking using clay. We each had a ball of clay which the children imprinted a pattern into. They then rolled paint onto the clay and pressed it down onto the paper to create some lovely patterns!

Birch

Our focus in art this week has been learning about mixing tertiary colours. The children used watercolours to create a new palette, which they will be working on later in the unit to create work with complementary and analogous colours.

Sycamore

This week Sycamore Class have been learning about how the Geography of Britain helped or hindered potential invaders.

One the one hand, this is a hard country to invade because it is an island. But on the other hand, there are lots of quiet coves that invaders, such as the Vikings, could use to sneak up on others!

Aspen

This week in Aspen, we have been getting musical! Using the piece of music called “A Bao A Qu”, which is featured in the BBC Ten Pieces, we created our own class beast. With our class beast, we used a range of untuned percussion instruments to play sounds that could link to how our beast moves.

Year 6

Year 6 have had a fantastic weeks residential and has shown all the keys to success, in particular resilience. We are very proud of them all and have sent them home happy but tired!
