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.
Year 3 explored Heather Hansen’s gestural art today.
They listened to different pieces of music and thought about how it made them feel. They used charcoal to create art and patterns inspired by her.
Over the last few weeks, Year 4 have been learning all about what makes a great speech. They were then set a task by Mrs. Suffield to help her decide whether she should move her family to Queen’s Hill or the centre of Norwich. Y4 have been working incredibly hard to collate their ideas and come up with a convincing argument for why Queen’s Hill is the best place to live. This afternoon, Y4 gathered in the hall to present their speeches to Mrs. Suffield.
Year 6 got to grips with using a micro:bit this week – a tiny programmable device that enabled children to understand how computers work and learn to code using the language of computers. They familiarised themselves with the device itself and the programming environment before creating their own programs. They then ran their programs on the device. We were impressed by everyone’s curiosity and concentration!
Reception went on their first school trip to Gressenhall this Thursday. We met Fairytale characters, such as Cinderella and Jack. We helped them find their magical objects the Wicked Witch had stolen and had lots of fun on the farm… even the grown-ups had fun!
This year Nursery and Reception took part in the Barnardo’s ‘Big Toddle’. Children and their grown-ups dressed up in Safari themed costumes and took part in different jungle themed activities. We raised £185 for the charity- so well done everyone!
Year 3 had a great afternoon sampling and tasting different jam tarts.
They thought about the packaging, pastry and filling before giving it an overall rating.
Next week, they are going to design and bake their very own!
Year 6 participated in some great workshops in support of their upcoming move to high school. Our visitors were very impressed by their contributions and maturity.
Year 3 had a fantastic time at Whitlingham Adventure.
They tried paddle boarding and canoeing and also completed many different team challenges.
The children showed great grit and determination throughout the day and all were safe, ready and respectful. Well done Year 3!
Year 4 had a fabulous day at the Royal Norfolk Show today. They all began in the Discovery Zone, learning about the production of sugar beet in Norfolk, from preparing the soil all the way to what the sugar is used for. They were challenged to build the tallest possible tower of sugar cubes!
The children also enjoyed exploring many of the other attractions, collecting stickers and seeing how many freebies they could gather!
The highlight of the day for many was seeing the RAF Falcons parachuting display over the Grand Ring!
