Today, Year 5 have created their sculptures- beautifully influenced by Barbara Hepworth’s The Family of Man Series. They’ve channelled so much effort into capturing her abstract forms and sense of life stages. 👏🏼 #art #sculptures #BarbaraHepworth

Today year 1 have been practising our food preparation skills in our DT lesson. We have been exploring how to cut food safely and accurately. We had a challenge to see who could cut the most pieces out of their banana! 🍌🍴

Year 5 have produced some fabulous work in Geography. We have been learning about different biomes. As part of their lesson, children imagined themselves on an extraordinary holiday in a tundra. They each wrote a postcard to a friend, capturing the flora and fauna. 🦭❄️

🚢 A fantastic week in Nursery exploring boats! We tested what floats/sinks & which materials are waterproof, then designed and built our own boats—putting them to the test! 🧠🛠️💦 #EarlyYears #STEM #LearningThroughPlay

Year 5 have produced some incredible writing! Inspired by The Last Bear, we created persuasive travel brochures persuading people to visit the breathtaking landscapes of Norway. 🇳🇴 The results are outstanding - I couldn’t be prouder. #Norway #TravelBrochure #Writing

🚂 In Nursery, we printed fantastic trains inspired by The Train Ride! We used cylinders, cubes & cuboids as stamps – linking our 3D shape learning in Maths. 🎨📚 #EYFS #NurseryFun #TheTrainRide

In science, Year 6 have been exploring the colour of light. Thankfully the sun was shining and we were able to see the spectacular colours.

Today year 1 have been making smoothies in DT. We used our designs to decide which fruits we should use and then we tasted each one. They were delicious! 🍓🍌🍑🍍
