Edison class have been looking at Inuit art this term. So far, the children have carved sculptures out of soap using a variety of carving tools and created art using paint, sponges and stencils. The children really enjoy their art lessons and we can't wait to see what they create next! 👀

Children from Picasso and Anning classes visited the Turner Gallery recently as part of their ceramics project. Everyone had a fantastic time investigating the pictures in the Bridget Riley exhibition and creating their own artwork inspired by the artist. After this the children worked with ceramicist Jayne Wright to create their own ‘little ships'. Both classes were a real credit to the school; their behaviour and creativity was commented on by both the staff at The Turner and members of the general public. We are very proud of them all! 💜

Construction club had an exciting start to the term as the children were tasked with building the tallest tower they could out of spaghetti and marshmallows. The competition was tough but there was a clear winner: the girls from Edison class! All children enjoyed the 'sweet taste' of victory by eating their marshmallows at the end. 👷 🗼

Year R have had a busy start back this term. Some children investigated what lives under the big reel in the Reception outdoor area and others chose to narrate their own role-play. The children's story had heroes and villains and used some key vocabulary from their story of the week. Great work Year R! 😊
