Wassily Kandinsky!

By Leonnie Carrick13th May 2026

This week F2 have enjoyed learning all about the famous Russian artist…

‘Wassily Kandinsky’

…and have used his work to inspire some of their own fabulous pieces of art!

We have learnt lots about Wassily himself and have enjoyed exploring some of his most famous pieces, looking at the shapes he used and the colours!

We explored how different colours make us feel and how we can mix colours together to create new ones, talking about the primary colours and their importance!

Here are a few pictures of the children getting inspired and busy with their intrinsic circle designs, carefully mixing their own colours and creating beautiful abstract art!!!

Our paintings are so fabulous we have made our very own Kandinsky display!

 

Butterfly paintings

We have loved reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar and have been mesmerised by our caterpillars in the classroom and have really enjoyed watching them grow and change.

It seemed only right to create our very own beautiful butterflies.

Y6 Artwork

By Mr J SUTTON4th March 2026

This half term year 6 have been looking at Bansky the elusive street artist. We have been recreating some of his work and looked at creating some Banksy style stencils.

Year 1 – Computing

By Mrs L READ27th February 2026

This week, Year 1 have continued with their work on the laptops.  We are still using the paintz.app, but this term we are focusing on Digital Painting.

We will be looking at a different artist each week and creating our own masterpiece, inspired by their work.

The children became artists, as they created their own fabulous masterpieces, inspired by the artist Piet Mondrian.

The children observed that his work just used primary colours and squares and rectangles created by using lines.

We realised that the line and fill tools would be perfect for us to use. The children were able to make the shapes with lines and then ‘pour’ the primary colours in.

Just look at their fabulous work!

 

 

  

Fruit and vegetable painting

By Olivia Foster24th February 2026

What’s at the bottom of the garden?

The HUB enjoyed a fruit and vegetable painting activity in the garden today! Prior to the creativity, we learnt all about how the different types of fruit and vegetable grow and what sufficiency they need to be able to grow effectively.

The children had an amazing afternoon in the sunshine!

 

Year 5 Viking WOW Day

By Etienne Hull24th February 2026

Year 5 had an incredible Viking WOW Day! We began by exploring the history of Viking shields, learning about their designs, patterns, and the meanings behind the colours they used. Using this knowledge, we created our very own shields.

We also looked at Viking runes. After discovering how the runic alphabet worked, we had a go at writing our names and even created secret messages for our friends to decode. It was amazing to see how Vikings communicated in such a unique way.

To finish off our busy day, we relaxed with some Viking word searches and even learned how to draw our very own Vikings.

HOUSES AND HOMES

By Leonnie Carrick5th February 2026

Exploring our topic ‘Houses and Homes’

This week in F2 the children have been fully immersed in our exciting topic: Houses and Homes. We’ve been hands‑on, creative, and imaginative as we explored what makes a house strong, safe, and cosy.

 

Brick Printing and Paint Mixing

To kick off our learning, the children used bricks to paint and stamp their very own brick‑wall patterns. Before they began printing, they had a go at mixing paint to create the perfect shade of brown, just like real bricks  They experimented with different colours, noticing how red, yellow, and a tiny bit of black could be blended to make the colour they needed.

Once their paint was ready, the children pressed the bricks onto paper to form strong, sturdy wall patterns. They loved the weight and feel of the bricks and were fascinated by the texture they created.

Becoming Builders 

Our construction area transformed into a bustling building site as the children took on the role of builders. Using wooden blocks, bricks and tubes, they worked together to create their own structures.  We talked about what makes a house strong and Ethan said “walls and a roof”. Miss Carrick also expanded on this by discussing the strong foundations of a house. We experimented with balancing and stacking materials, the children showed some fab team work and problem-solving.

Building Dens to Live In

A highlight of the week was our den‑building challenge. Using fabrics, pegs, poles, and lots of imagination, the children built their own little homes to “live in”.
