Greenwich School Sports Virtual League
We are thrilled to announced that Bannockburn finished in first place in the HT5 Greenwich School Sports Virtual League. Well Done to all of those children who participated in challenges to earn points for our school including the EYFS kicking challenge, KS2 Boccia and Basketball challenges.
The table is re-set and we will continue to complete as many challenges as possible within school. Starting with the EYFS jumping challenge in the next couple of weeks.
Swirling Whirling Snowstorm- Apple Class Arts Week
Apple Class in Reception participated in various activities linked to the swirling whirling snowstorm from the story ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt.’
The children created repeated patterns using felt on a
spiral swirling whirling snowstorm.
They painted patterns using a paintbrush onto tinfoil.
They explored ice cube painting, creating swirling, twirling
and whirling patterns.
The children then printed with pom-poms attached to a peg, to add another layer of falling snow.
Groups of children worked together to make ‘snow’. The
children manipulated the snow using their hands to make snowballs and snowmen.
As a class they experimented what happens when they sprinkle salt over blocks of ice.
The class developed their fine motor skills by drawing snowflakes with chalk.
Arts Weeks - Just keep swimming…
In Year 4 Poplar for our Arts Weeks our theme has been swimming! Luckily, we got to go for some swimming lessons together last term too so we were even more excited to get started!
We have been studying the artist, David Hockney, and his paintings of swimming pools. We have explored colouring pencils to create waves of different shades of blue, painted our own canvases and explored with watercolours too!
We have even choreographed our own dance routine inspired by synchronised swimmers! Keep your eye on the blog for our video soon!
Visit the Tate Modern website to find out more about David Hockney.
Arts Weeks - Trampoline Fun with Year One!
As part of Arts Weeks 2021 'Inside Out', children in Year 1 have been exploring the topic of Air through a range of creative activities and immersive experiences. On Thursday, a trampoline was arranged and the children had so much fun jumping and practising different moves.
