Key Stage 2

Year 4 discussed different Christian Christmas symbols and their meanings to Christians.The children then made their own Christingles. 

Year 3 enjoyed their theatre experience today. They laughed, cheered and booed throughout the Cinderella pantomime. We will compare the story of Cinderella with another narrative in the new year. 

Today in Year 6 we have been creating our own Christmas cards in our French lesson using watercolour paints. We experimented with colour and line. 

Year 5 have been testing in the last few weeks, but this hasn’t stopped us from being creative! We have been working with the text ‘The Storm Unicorn’ and have represented our own unicorns for non-chronological reports using water colours. In maths lessons, some of us have created number snakes – like those in the images – to represent adjacent numbers producing square numbers.

Year 3 have been learning about the 2019 General Election. They received their polling card, read the manifestos for the four main candidates, wrote their own manifestos, shared their manifestos and posted their vote into the ballot box.

In Year 6 today we have been learning about the 2019 General Election. We spent some time looking at the manifestos of different parties and then have applied our measuring skills to build our own rosettes to wear when we visit our own polling station here at school on Thursday. We had to measure out the size of the ribbons for our rosettes and also used a compass to accurately draw a circle to match a given criteria (a certain diameter). 

Year 3 have been looking at repeated patterns inspired by the Victorian artist, William Morris. They created observational drawings of flowers and leaves before embossing their designs into foam and printing them in a repetitive design. 

Thank you so much to our Y6 pupils and their families for attending our Advent Pyjama Party Cafe! We read a Christmas story wore our pyjamas, had hot chocolate and made our own Christmas decorations from recycled paper.
