Today Bowie class were introduced to the well-known, Italian artist ‘Michelangelo’. We learnt of how he painted many humans in his most famous piece on the ceiling of the Sistine chapel (in Vatican City). However, the one living thing Michelangelo did not paint was an animal!

Therefore this afternoon, year 4 painted their own animals (dogs) to add to the paintings on the Sistine chapel’s ceiling

Year 4 enjoyed their first session of djembe drumming yesterday. We learnt that the drums originated from the continent of Africa specifically in Guinea and learnt how to play both high and low notes. The children are already looking forward to their 2nd lesson next week!

Lovely start to the day at Breakfast Club – the children had great fun decorating buns this morning!

Brunel Class Transformation!

Our Year 2 children became true engineers-in-the-making today as they all dressed up as Isambard Kingdom Brunel! From top hats to waistcoats, they looked absolutely fantastic.

It was wonderful to see them bringing their class name to life and learning about Brunel in such a fun and memorable way. We think the great man himself would have been very impressed!

Year 6 had a brilliant time enjoying a calming yoga session with Vickie-Marie today! A lovely way to relax, stretch, and refocus Thank you, Vickie-Marie, for sharing your expertise with us.

In science the Year 2 children were sorting pictures into ‘alive’/ ‘never been alive’/ ‘dead’… it led to some interesting discussions. Which category do you think a pencil would fit into?
