Year 1 have loved learning all about the primary and secondary colours, mixing their own shades and creating light and dark shades of a colour.
They have been working towards creating a piece of art based on Wassily Kandinsky's style.
Here are some pictures of them being creative.
Y2 Yayoi Kusama inspired Art, by Mrs Harrison
Date: 17th Oct 2023 @ 10:13pm
We have been exploring the artwork of Yayoi Kusama- particularly her pumpkins!
We had a go at drawing our own pumpkins and decorating them in the style of Kusama. Lots of polka dots exploring how to use paint to create effects such as stroking, dapping and twisting. So far they look great!
Y2 Science, by Mrs Harrison
Date: 17th Oct 2023 @ 10:04pm
A very practical end to our Materials topic today! We investigated an unusual material - magic snow! It demonstrated absorbency in action. We then investigated which other materials are absorbent.
Our challenge today was to design and make a new nappy. We took apart a nappy to see what was involved before designing our own using materials tested in previous lessons. Great learning on absorbency, waterproofing and strength! Wonderful cooperation in Year 2.

Some of our Y4 and Y6 children took part in the Chester Schools Partnership Rugby festival held at Chester Rugby club this week.
On Wednesday our Y4 children played brilliantly on a wet morning, playing with a smile on their faces and enjoying their 4 games.
Our Y6 children had glorious weather on Thursday morning for their event. They improved with every game scoring tries and showing great organisation in defence.
Thank you to al of the parents, grandparents and Mrs McComb for helping with transport.

Year 4 Mini Beast Hunt, by Miss Doyle
Date: 9th Oct 2023 @ 10:17am
On Friday, Year 4 had so much fun searching our school grounds for mini beasts!🕷Out topic in science is all about Living Things. We wanted to see what kind of habitats and mini beasts were around our school! We used our team work skills to work together in groups or pairs to see how many creatures we could find!
Year 4 Forest School, by Miss Doyle
Date: 9th Oct 2023 @ 9:47am
Year 4 had a fantastic day at Forest School in September. Our work was linked to our science topic, all about Living Things. We looked at animal skeletons and tried to indentify which animals they were. We learned all about vertebrates and invertebrates!
We had the chance to develop our team work skills by working together to build bug hotels. We then got to collect bugs and put them in their new homes.
The highlight of the day was using Dragon Sneezers and toasting marshmallows over our fire pit :)
Learning in Year 1, by Mrs Bailey
Date: 7th Oct 2023 @ 1:47pm
We enjoyed telling the class what we like to play with, why we like playing with it and using describing words to help everyone understand more about our favourite toys. Some children brought their favourite toy into school to show everyone, some brought photographs and some told us from their memory. Mrs A Davies and Mrs Bailey learnt a lot about how some of the toys work and were introduced to some toys we hadn't heard of!
We have been learning about how incredible our brains are. We learnt a new word today called 'neuroplasticity' and thought about times when we work hard at something and our brain grows. We practiced that today! We used shoulder partner work (talking to the person next to us about our learning, the question being asked). This helped us to recall learning from last week ... and when we did this our brains grew!
In gymnastics we really enjoyed using the apparatus to explore different ways to travel and move around the equipment.
Fish and chip Friday was another highlight of the day! The children are continuing to grow in independence as they learn to make choices about vegetables and fruit, collect and carry their trays, cut up their own food and then clear away their tray, plate etc from the dinner table. They were super role models to our Reception children.
National Poetry Day, by Mrs Wheatcroft
Date: 6th Oct 2023 @ 5:22pm
We enjoyed sharing poems by Michael Rosen. We especially enjoyed Bendy Man and changed the word 'man' to lots of other words that rhyme. We also discovered we have some bendy children in our class, so we tried to think of some words to rhyme with their names too.

Forest School, by Miss Jones
Date: 6th Oct 2023 @ 4:01pm
What a fabulous day at Forest school. We built troll houses in our troll families for Timothy Limpet and Tabitha Lumpet. We then made our own trolls out of clay. The children worked incredibly in their teams and were so proud of what they achieved… so were we! This afternoon we went on a mini beast hunt and collected them for our micro habitat. Everyone enjoyed toasting marshmallows after some dragon sneeze practice! Well done Year 2… it has been a pleasure to watch your enthusiasm and creativity today, you’ve made me feel very proud!

Learning in Y1 29/9/23, by Mrs Bailey
Date: 29th Sep 2023 @ 5:49pm
Year 1 have been developing their balancing skills today in gymnastics with some adventurous ways to balance!
In science we played 20 questions to help us practice naming the body parts. We have been looking at body parts that are singular and those which come in pairs. We have also been exploring our senses, thinking about things we love to smell, taste, hear, see and touch.
We celebrated World Heart day and planned in time over the day to exercise our heart and to give our heart rest time.
In our My Happy Mind lesson today we have been finding out all about our brain, where it is and some fun facts about it. Did you know it weighs about the same as 3 cans of beans? We are going to be finding out more about the important jobs our brain does, over the next few weeks.
Next Friday the children can bring in a toy to help introduce our topic on Toys. They will have the opportunity next Friday to tell us about their toy. Please see the note on our class page for more information.

Date: 22nd Sep 2023 @ 6:18pm
Year 1 have had a busy day at gymnastics with Mr Bell today developing our coordination and control with rolls as well as following instructions and sequences, writing some sentences in phonics, naming our body parts in science and thinking about how useful our body parts are. It was fun playing Simon Says as we learnt the names of the body parts. The class were really good at identifying the body parts from our What am I? clues.
We looked at the story of Elmer as part of our No Outsiders programme and celebrated the differences between each other.
