We measured out 200ml of water into  each of the three tubs. We checked the temperatures of the water. The temperature of tub one was 50 degrees celsius, tub 2 was 21 …

Before half term, Y4 enjoyed making pizzas as part of their Design Technology lessons. They made the dough from scratch, rolled it out and shaped it and chose their own toppings. Everyone enjoyed getting very messy but the best part was eating the pizza! Thank you to everyone who supplied ingredients and to our parent helpers. re

Some of Y5 are enjoying their first ever try at knitting (although some are pretty good already!) Thank you to Mrs Bengston for giving up her time to teach us.

Year 2 have been looking at sculptures by Antony Gormley. We had fun using our bodies to make sculptures. We made boats, bananas, The Angel of the North, numbers and much more. Can you guess what our sculptures are?  

Today, Reception class have been learning about our solar system with their friends in Year 5 using augmented reality.

Year 5 performed their dance sequence based on an old fashioned circus show where things go wrong. We’ve enjoyed composing and bringing out different themes. Can you spot the hall of mirrors and the creepy dolls? Who is a strong man, a singer, a dog man or a sword fighter? Video 1 Video 2

Happy Valentines Day love from Reception Class!

Y5 final pieces of work are well underway – we have used our observational skills to sketch local landmarks, painted a ground wash in a warm or cool tone then chosen warm or cool colours to paint using ‘tache’ style strokes like the impressionists.

On Tuesday, Adam Bushnell came to visit school. In Year 3, we had great fun describing animals without giving the name of the animal away. Some were really hard to guess.

Today Adam Bushnell a real author came in to work with us. He brought in a big box and when he opened his box it was full of different types of dragons. We were so excited to listen to Adam’s stories all about dragons. We helped Adam out by making different noises and actions. Adam showed us how to draw …

We enjoyed working with Adam Bushnell today reading descriptive settings then using different vocabulary to alter them and make them scary.  The best part was reading them to one another with our spooky torches. We will post our completed descriptions once finished.
