We painted beautiful poppies outside today.
The poppies help us remember all the special people who have fought in wars to keep us and our country safe.
F1 made firework pictures on our ‘Bonfire WOW day’. Their pictures have now been put up in our classroom for everybody to see!
Some more FS2 children enjoyed mud painting during our Forest School session this week.
First we carefully made our paint brushes with the sticks and leaves that had been collected…
Next, we carefully scooped and mixed our mud… adding water and powder paint to make beautiful colours…
After that, we got to work on our amazing creations!
We all shared the colours we had made.
Look at our masterpieces!
Aren’t they just wonderful?
In F1 we talked about Guy Fawkes and why we celebrate Bonfire Night. We also tried some traditional bonfire night food. We made our own sparklers, where we dipped our chocolate fingers in warm water to melt the chocolate and then covered them in sprinkles. We talked about how the chocolate melted. We did some fabulous blow paint firework pictures, which are now on display in our classroom. We also made some tasty treats in our mud kitchen food stall. Click on the link below to see our photos.
Year 6 had so much fun exploring and expanding their knowledge using print work today. They created etchings of Mayan glyphs and were able to transfer the prints into their sketch books. They examined a range of glyphs carefully and then replicated these with great detail. Excellent work year 6!
We had a very busy day learning all about Guy Fawkes and the reason we celebrate ‘Bonfire Night’.
- we displayed excellent teamwork skills collecting sticks and leaves to make our bonfire
- used a range of painting techniques to create bonfire and firework art
- wrote some important safety instructions for staying safe on ‘Bonfire Night’
- enjoyed making and eating edible sparklers and hot dogs whilst listening to our themed story ‘Sparks in the Sky’
- finished off our day all snuggled up watching a spectacular firework display
Year 6 really enjoyed creating line drawings of Mayan glyphs in their sketch books. They examined a range of glyphs carefully and then replicated these with great detail. I was particularly impressed at how confident the children were in putting pen to paper without sketching them in pencil first! Excellent work year 6!
The children in the Hub have been celebrating Harvest by making ‘Harvest Creatures’, using fruit and vegetables. They took great pride in displaying their creations outside our Hub entrance and couldn’t wait to show their parents at the end of the day.
We were all very proud of the children for their discussions about all the things they were thankful for. They drew some lovely, detailed pictures and completed some beautiful writing.
The children loved designing their pumpkin and scooping out all the seeds.
Mr Norton carved out their design and delivered safety talk on using equipment.
Some of our children loved the sensory feeling of scooping out with their hands whilst others chose to scoop out with spoon.
We investigated our pumpkin seeds and compared sizes with other seeds.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO ALWAYS ASK AN ADULT TO HELP YOU CARVE YOUR PUMPKIN!
