During our art lesson today, Y5M were using manikins and sketching what they could see. The children were moving the manikins into different positions and then created a final sketch of their manikin. We had a lovely afternoon and the children produced some outstanding art work!
Christmas Sewing Club is underway! Year 6 have been designing and creating a Christmas hanging decoration. They chose a felt shapes, which included robins, snowmen, gingerbread men and girls, penguins, reindeers and much more…
Some of the children found it rather tricky to thread a needle at first, but a few weeks in, have mastered it. They chose from a whole range of sparkly sequins, twinkly beads and colourful threads to decorate their chosen felt shape.
We have a break half way, it’s thirsty work this sewing!
Here are some of their finished creations. I think you will agree look amazing, well done Y6!
Year 4 have been demonstrating their artistic flairs and utilising their knowledge of the shape and proportion of the body, whilst making light sketches of the mannequin in different poses to show expression.

The children in F1 have had fun painting pictures of helter skelter’s today🖌🎨
Y6 students had a fantastic day of learning at Sirius Academy West today. We took part in a carousel of olympic themed activities and demonstrated fantastic team work to win as many point as possible for the countries we were representing!
In the maths session, we playing ‘archery maths’ and studied sprint times from the 100m races. This tested our mental maths skills and ability to order numbers up to 2 decimal places. We also enjoyed spotting lines of symmetry on the countries’ fags!
We worked really hard in art to develop our light sketching skills and design and draw our own olympic mascots.
In computing, we programmed an electronic game of squash and loved spending time in the designated computer suites!
We had so much fun playing competitive geography games which tested our knowledge on the countries involved in hosting the olympics and also the continents in which they were held!
We loved learning about all things ‘Maya’ during our themed day. It was a great opportunity to delve into researching and understanding this fascinating civilisation. The day started through carefully examining Maya artefacts and hypothesising about their uses and how they would have been made.
We then took part in a Maya themed QR code hunt on a mission to gather and research as many facts as possible – great team work was demonstrated!
We were fascinated when learning about the religious and cultural significance of masks, especially ‘death masks’ which were placed on their dead bodies to guard them on their journey to the afterlife! The ones we designed and made look great on display in our pod area.
Finally, we spent the afternoon observing and studying intricate Maya hieroglyphs and drawing these in our sketch books.
