In Year 1 we looked at the old Brookside School and compared it with our new school. 

Reception have been learning all about the importance of of Remembrance day. Using a paint app on the ipads we used our skills to draw poppies. We learnt why Poppies are important to help us remember all the soldiers.

Children used different shading techniques to create our artwork as part of our Remembrance Day activities.

We have looked at where a number of famous artists created their most celebrated works of art and mapped them on our European map.. We have examined the work of Henri Matisse and his famous collage The snail. As a result we created our own animal collages in his style. 

Children in Year 4 have been developing their clay skills by creating a pinch pot, using Greek styles and shapes. 

In Year 6, following our amazing trip to the World War 2 underground bunker, we have all written our own leaflets to try to persuade other people to go to the museum. WE have used 'persuasive devices' in order to convince our readers to pay a visit.

We have used our computing skills…

Children in Year 4 read the story of Theseus and the Minotaur before design their own maze.  The children practised their measurements and cutting skills, as well developing their teamwork skills.

Children used an i-pad to take photographs of themselves as a member of Greek society and then used images to merge themselves into a picture of Ancient Greek monument or landscape.

The Platonic shapes are made up from regular polygons.  Year 4 have been exploring the number of faces, number of edges and number of vertices. 

Well done to all of the Year 6 children for representing themselves and their families so well on our recent trip to the secret underground bunker where the Second World War was won. We do not take your great behaviour and super enthusiasm for granted. The staff were full of praise for you…

Year 1 made Quill Pens today and used them to write a diary entry about the Great fire of London, just like Samuel Pepys. Here they are in action.

Children in Year 3 have been so inspired about their learning this half term that one child made his very own replica Stonehenge!
