Into the Forest! Year 2's Immersive Day!

 Yesterday, Year 2 took part in an immersive day to introduce our new topic; 'Into the Forest'. 

The children took part in a nocturnal animal encounter experience, learnt the story of Hansel and Gretel through dance, learnt how to map read and recapped the parts of a plant. Take a look at some of our learning!

Responding to an artist in Year 3

 In Year 3 this half term, we will be looking at Drawing and Collage. In our first lesson we responded to 'The Circus' by Henri Matisse. We took inspiration from his Abstract Expression and completed a collage for our title page. We enjoyed taking an experimental approach to our art learning today and knowing that we didn't have to be precise. We are looking forward to discovering more about this style of art and the work of Henri Matisse.

Year 4's curious questions...

At the end of our RE, Geography and Science topics last term, we reviewed what we had learnt and questions we still had. Here is a selection of the questions we still need answers to! If you have time to do some research, write down our answers and hand them to the Year 4 teachers to share with the year group.
