It was wonderful today to walk to the Little Common and identify British trees by their leaves. This was taught in previous years but it can be hard to remember, so we revisited our learning. It was so fun looking at the environment around us, discussing seasonal changes and showing respect for our local area.
Just a small selection of our art work
Thank you Hemi for coming in and doing a wonderful workshop about the meaning of our school prayer.
Thank you to Life lab for dropping off their flight case of healthy heroes for us to explore!
We asked the pupils to do a simple pre assessment and show us what they can already do in art this week. Skye however blew us away with this stunning drawing of a plant in our classroom! We can wait to see what she can draw after we have taught her more techniques such as cross hatching, shading and light tough techniques. Well done Skye!
French is superb!
This week we began our literacy journey on The Great Kapok Tree.
It was an absolute joy to spend time with the new classes today. Everyone had so much fun, especially the teachers! We have started to build a wonderful class culture of respect and kindness. In Australasia we painted some sunflowers with watercolours. It was great to see the focus the class showed doing a still life painting plus they all turned out so differently, sharing our personalities too!
Today we explored Valley Gardens, the beautiful area within the University campus.
We had fun in 3/4 growing beans this Summer.
Oliver and the Seawigs!
In 3 and 4 we have been learning about the rich and poor Roman diets.
