Year 5 Reading

Here we are, sharing information we took from non-fiction texts on the Solar System.

It was amazing how much this sparked our interest in space and gave us a chance to show what we already knew.

Sometimes we had the same information, sometimes we could teach our partner a new fact from what we had read.

Year 3 Art

Year 3 worked hard on their Delft tiles before half term. They learnt how to roll the clay with a rolling pin and used tools to make indents in the clay to form patterns and pictures from their design in their Art books.

They were then able to show off their tiles to their parents during the Parent Workshare. Well done Year 3.

Year 4 Treehouses

The week commencing 14th October was an exciting one for Year 4. We knew we had our treehouse sculptures to complete so off we went into the forest on Tuesday afternoon to find the perfect stick to hold our rooms and all the compartments we needed.

Wednesday kicked off with 4AG anxiously wondering if our clay bases had set and 4WM attaching their clay bases with great caution. The rest of Wednesday was spent with both classes completing their attachments to hang, balance or fix to their treehouse.

Along came Thursday. Finally, the day where our treehouses would take shape. Lots of balancing and precarious precision to ensure our treehouses were perfect.

Friday was the time to show off to parents. Lots of happy children smiles and slightly worried parents faces filled the classes as they wondered how they would house such huge sculptures. With that being said, I had some superb comments from parents who were proud of the artistic ability, carefully assembling and overall creativity.

We’d like to congratulate the whole of Year 4 on the motivation, resilience and teamwork skills they used over the week to overcome any obstacle in their way and magpie ideas from willing peers.
