Year 3 made medals in PSHE for what they are proud of!

We have been continuing to think about how animals have adapted to live in their habitats in science in Year 2. We had some really interesting discussions this afternoon such as why a polar bear would struggle to survive in a savannah and how a lion would need to adapt in order to live in a tundra.

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!
