Year 5 Art - Textiles
This morning year 5 have completed their Textiles topic in Art. We have worked hard to look at different techniques for tie-dying before completing their own bandanna for Miss Peckson’s dog! As you can see they’ve completed some beautiful work, even if it has been a bit messy!
Y5 Science - Day and Night
In Science today we were creating models that show how we have day and night. We then wrote our own scientific explanations to explore this further.
Y2 - Science - Minibeasts
In Science this week we went on a minibeast hunt. We then thought about how easy it is to see the minibeasts in their microhabitat and gave them a star rating out of 5 for how camouflaged they were.
Y2 DT - Perfect Pizzas
This afternoon, we have enjoyed tasting different types of bread as part of our DT topic 'Perfect Pizzas'. The children then ranked them in order of preference. Ask your child which was their favourite.

Y2 English - Following Instructions

Reception - Working Scientifically- Incy Wincy Spider
This morning a group of children took part in an experiment! We needed to select a good material to make a roof so that Incy-Wincy spider would stay dry and cosy in this wet and soggy weather. Firstly we inspected each material, the children had a very good look and they also felt the materials before making their predictions. They all had a good knowledge and some good ideas as to why certain materials would or would not keep Incy-Wincy dry. Then we put out predictions to the test! We worked as a team to hold the different materials tight and steady, then took turns to pour the water on top. The children really enjoyed seeing how the water moved and settled on the different materials. We found some very good materials that would definitely keep Incy-Wincy spider nice and dry!
Y1 DT - Textiles
Year One are creating their own fabric strip creations for us to weave next week. We have used glitter, fabric pens and oil pastels.
Year 5 DT - Biscuit Recipes
We have had a very busy morning in Year 5 completing our food topic in DT. This term the children have been researching, comparing and designing biscuit recipes for Willy Wonka! They have tested biscuits, compared recipes and researched fairtrade products we could use before designing our final product. Today, the children worked together to bake chocolate chip biscuits which they then decorated and devoured!
Y2 Spirituality Day
For Spirituality Day, Year 2 learned about the Taizé cross. The Taizé cross is covered with a collage of different people for whom Christ died, and Jesus is often in the centre. The children designed their own cross before looking at the parable of The Great Feast. After learning about this parable, they thought about what kind of qualities they would like in people and what sort of menu they would draw up for their ideal party.
