Year 5 and 6 children have been very creative in art. They have used their knowledge of the Mayan symbols and alphabet to create their own clay reliefs. It was a pretty messy process with the clay and paint but the results look amazing!

🎨 Year 3/4 Explore Monet! 🌅🌉
This half-term in Art, our talented Year 3/4 students have been diving into the world of Claude Monet, focusing on his stunning River Thames series. Using one of Monet’s atmospheric paintings as inspiration, pupils created their own versions of the London skyline, reflected in water—just like Monet did!
Whether capturing the glow of morning light or the mystery of a night sky, each piece was a thoughtful first attempt at mirroring his impressionist style. The results are dreamy, expressive, and full of creative flair—well done, artists! 🖌️✨

We have also been introduced to our new maths topic in Year 1 'position and direction'↗️
We have been looking at quarter turns, half turns, three-quarter turns, and full turns.

Watch this space for more evidence of their learning. Meanwhile, Year 6 have been busy with two new projects - the Fiver Challenge and the end of term production! Fun times ahead for all!!

📜✨ Year 3/4 Step Back in Time! ✨📜
We’ve kicked off our Summer 2 History topic: Ancient Egypt! 🏺🌞
This week, we’ve been busy creating timelines to uncover just how long ago the Ancient Egyptians lived, asking big, investigable questions like “How were the pyramids built?” and “What did they believe about the afterlife?” 👀🔍
We also discovered what it means to be an Egyptologist—turns out, it’s a bit like being a detective of the past! 🕵️♂️🗺️
We can’t wait to explore more about this fascinating civilisation! 🇪🇬💫
