In Art we created our own pictures of the Northern Lights by applying and developing our art skills. Look how beautiful they have turned out to be.
To complete our Zero to Hero theme which was all based on culture, Year 2 found out about different eating and drinking habits from around the world. Our different responses to burping, slurping and left over food created some great discussions. Our curiosity in the countries mentioned prompted us to find out more using our atlases.
Reception were absolutely amazing this morning! We performed ‘A Showman At Sunset’ for our adults. We had lots of last minute stand ins and some major swap around but they all shone in their own way and sang their hearts out! Well done Reception!
This week in Year 3, we have been learning about Harriet Tubman. Year 3 learned that Harriet saved over 60 slaves from the terrible conditions of the slave farms and transported them across the Northern boarder of Pennsylvania where slavery was illegal. She did this using songs to give the slaves instructions so that they weren’t caught by the slave catchers. We were inspired by this, so we created our own slave songs!
This week, Year 5 have designed, made and evaluated dreamcatchers, inspired by the Native American tribes which we are learning about, within our LMTW topic- Come Fly With Me, America.Â
Here are just a few of our amazing creations!
In our theme Come Fly With Me Asia we have been focusing on India. Today we have been cooking! We have made two curries. One was a lentil dahl and the other was a vegetable curry. This afternoon we have been to our restaurant and ate our food, along with naan bread, poppadoms and rice. The children used their senses to describe the smells, what they could hear, see and how the food tasted. We are so proud of everyone as they all tried some new foods! 🇮🇳👏🏻😊❤️
Year 6 produced a very thoughtful assembly today to celebrate our learning within our ‘I Have a Dream’ theme.
We shared our learning about slavery, apartheid and segregation; the children also celebrated the achievements and legacy of Martin Luther King through the eyes of a child who witnessed his famous 1963 speech.
The children spoke confidently and it was clear that they have thought clearly about the important themes within this unit of work.
Thanks to all of our parents, carers and other family members who came along too – we hope you enjoyed it!
