Design and Technology Dynamos in Year 1!

13th May 2024L Chisholm

In our Learning Means The World theme, ‘Light Up The World’ we have been looking at the sun and creating leaflets and posters of the rules we need to follow in order to be safe when we are out in the sun. We have found out that suncream, glasses, hat and t-shirts are very important. We then designed our own split pin lever card to show the sun and how we keep ourselves safe

2 Blue- Rainforest Art Explorers!

10th May 2024L Martin

2 Blue have had a fantastic time exploreing the Sunderland Winter Garder rainforest through art.

They sketched in the forest, looking carefully at the different types of leaves, and then created some master pieces in the museum classroom using different types and shades of pastels.

We even had time to sqeeze in scavenger hunt around the rest of the museum!

The children were a credit to the school with their excellent manners and behaviour.

Food Glorious Food! Reception Goldilocks and the Three Bears week.

19th April 2024K Richardson

As part of our LMTW theme ‘Food Glorious Food’ we have been looking at ‘sweet foods’ We have used the story ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’ throughout the week including Drawing Club. The children have been building the bears house using 3D shapes which was part of our maths this week. We talked about which shapes would be the best for building and why. They recreated the story, wrote captions, read instructions of how to make porridge and used their maths skills of full and empty to recreate the porridge scene, also using size to make sure the bears were in the corrects chairs! We tasted honey and talked about how it is a healthy sweet option and why. We then ate a variety of sweet foods and timed how long it would take to eat them. We talked about which took the longest/shortest times and why, using our science skills of how chocolate melts and why. We looked at and discussed which sweet foods are healthy and which are not healthy, ask your children to tell you, they were experts!

Year 4 vs Vincent van Gogh

7th March 2024L Davison

This week, Year 4 have been studying the works of Dutch post-impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh. First we found out a little about him, then we had a class critique of some of his art work. We looked at the style of his work and the way that he used lines to create different moods and images.

Finally, after practising different techniques, we tried to recreate one of van Gogh’s more famous pieces ‘Starry Night’. Van Gogh painted it from memory during the day, as he was not able to paint from his bedroom. But he was able to create sketches in ink and charcoal and it was these sketches that we recreated. Have a look at some of our fabulous sketchbook and art work.
