• Autumn Art in Snowdon Class

  Wed 14 Oct 2020 Mrs Bullock
  Over the last few days, we have been looking closely at the changing season and thinking about how we can show this through our art work. We looked at work completed by Monet, Georgia O’Keefe and David Hockney and discussed colour, composition, texture and how the paintings made us feel. We then went on an Autumnal walk through the forest area to look closely for signs of changes, children then carefully selected a number of leaves to study. Using a range of pencils they completed still life drawings. We will now work these into a mixed media piece using water colour paints, chalk and oil pastels! 

  

• Cedar Class Autumn senses walk

  Tue 13 Oct 2020 Mrs.Hacking
  Cedar Class really enjoyed a walk in our wooded area this morning. We used our senses to listen, look, touch and smell the signs of Autumn around us. We also collected natural objects and made some Autumn pictures and patterns.

  

• Science - Classification in Everest.

  Fri 09 Oct 2020 Mrs Goodyear
  In Everest today, we have been continuing with our classification topic in Science. This morning we looked at how vertebrates can be classified into kingdoms. The children researched characteristics of each kingdom and created some fantastic fact-files. This afternoon, in our P.E. session, we put our knowledge into practice through classification relays. We had a fantastic time and it really helped to consolidate our prior learning. 

  

• DT Making Puppets in Elm Class

  Fri 09 Oct 2020 Miss Pearson

  Elm class had a wonderful time this week because they have been designing and making their own puppets .  They thought about all the different characters in Nursery Rhymes , and we discussed that younger children like to use puppets to help them remember the rhyme ! 
   

  Each of the designs were so different and so wonderful, and I am sure you will be able to spot lots of Incy Wincy Spiders, soldier from the Grand Old Duke of York, lambs, twinkling stars and many many more characters !

• Everest class - Egyptian day with Michael Eastwood Egyptologist.

  Thu 08 Oct 2020 Mrs Goodyear
  Today Everest have been taken on an amazing journey back though time, to learn about some of the remarkable events that occurred in Ancient Egypt. We were fortunate to have a world leading authority - Michael Eastwood - to be our tour guide for the day. After amazing us with his knowledge, images and artefacts from Egypt and his stories of tomb discoveries, we even managed to fit in a spot of dancing and mummification. A truly fantastic day which was enjoyed by all. 

  

• Languages Day in Elm Class

  Wed 07 Oct 2020 C Pearson

  We had a great time in Elm Class when we learned to speak Italiano ! 
   

  We loved saying Ciao, Buongiorno and Grazie to each other. 
   

  We then learned about Italian food and Italian landmarks.  We all loved the story of the Leaning Tower of Pisa so we tried to create our own.  It turned into a great DT project  too ! 
  
   

  

• Stone Age Day - Shelter Building

  Tue 06 Oct 2020 Miss Fowler
  In quite possibly the worst weather we could have, Year 3 built shelters to survive the predators and weather of the Stone Age! We worked in teams with limited materials but lots of trees, rocks and sticks. The structures built were fantastic and the children showed excellent creativity and engineering skills. It was very muddy, very wet, but very fun! Which would you choose to live in?

  

• Stone Age Day - jewellery and cooking

  Tue 06 Oct 2020 Miss Dobbs

  As part of our Stone Age Day, year 3 enjoyed making their own Stone Age necklaces, shaping them to look like animal teeth. They also followed a recipe to make some Stone Age oat biscuits. They used ingredients that would have been available at the time and looked forward to tasting them at the end of the day. 

  

• Stone Age Day - fire making

  Tue 06 Oct 2020 Miss Dobbs
  Despite the incredibly heavy rain, the children thoroughly enjoyed being outside and learning how to make a fire. The children used a fire steel just as Stone Age people would have used flint stones to strike and create a fire. All children managed to start a fire and some became experts by the end of the session!
