School Council Christmas Bauble Project

This year the school council decided to run the Christmas bauble project again. The plastic baubles were very kindly bought by the Friends and each year group chose their own designs and have been busy over the last few weeks creating them.

In Reception they decorated wooden baubles with paint, glitter and sequins.

In Year 1 they used tissue paper to collage the inside of their baubles.

In Year 2 the children measured their height and filled their bauble with ribbon that is the same height as them in 2024.

In Year 3 they filled their baubles with cotton wool ‘snow’ and decorated the outside with Christmas patterns.

In Year 4 the children decorated their baubles with glitter.

In Year 5 they used tissue paper to create bright and colourful baubles that have been hanging on their class Christmas trees.

In Year 6 they chose glitter for the insides and drew Christmas patterns and messages on the outside.

We think they all look amazing! A great big thank you to the School Council for organising this for everyone and an even bigger thank you to the Friends for supplying us with the baubles.

Year 2 Maths

To finish their work on shapes, Year 2 have been sorting 3D shapes into categories based on the properties they have been learning about. There was lots of great mathematical thinking about faces, edges and vertices!

Year 2 Science

In Year 2 the children have been investigating materials. After looking at the different properties materials have, they designed and made a kite using the materials they thought would be the most suitable. This afternoon they tested their kites to see if their ideas were correct!

Year 2 and 3 Sharing Work

This morning Year 2 and Year 3 spent some time together sharing their writing. Year 2 read their buddy their fairy tale and Year 3 shared their persuasive posters. They all had a great time listening to their buddy’s work!

Year 2 Rangoli Patterns

Year 2 have continued learning about why light is important for different religions. This week they have learnt about Hinduism and Diwali. They learnt about the story of Rama and Sita and then created their own rangoli patterns.

Year 2 RE

Year 2 have started learning about why light is an important symbol for different religions. This week they have been learning about the Jewish festival Hanukkah and understanding how a Menorah is an important part of this celebration.

Year 2 Geography

Year 2 have started their first Geography unit where they will be comparing Norwich to Shanghai by looking at local Norwich landmarks and constructing models of them. Each class worked on a different landmark and produced replicas of Norwich Castle, the Cathedral and Carrow Road.

Year 2 Art

Year 2 have started their first art project of the year and have been exploring art in nature. After learning about artists who use the landscape and natural materials in their work, the children collected natural objects and then used them to create patterns and pictures.
