Dragonfly Art 11.1.23

Today, we have been exploring using different techniques to apply paint onto paper using different tools.  These included sponges, cotton buds and using a technique called sgraffito.  The children then used their new skills to complete an outline of a turtle.  Well done Dragonfly Class; awesome art!

 

Welcome back – Owl Class Spring 2023

Welcome back to our new school term; we have had a brilliant first few days back in school sharing our Christmas highlights and getting back to a bit of normality. There has been much laughter in class this week! We’re also delighted to have been joined by a new member of Owls , Ellie, who everyone has helped settle in brilliantly.

We have an action-packed Spring Term ahead. Here is this term’s overview of what we will be learning:

Curriculum Map Ancient Egypt

I think you will agree there are some fascinating lessons coming up. We will also be enjoying a full day Ancient Egyptian workshop (with VR headsets!) whilst the Year 6 squad will also have Arthog to look forward to at the end of this term plus sports trips, Young Voices and more!

Here is our weekly timetable – there are no changes to music or PE days this term. Some children can find this useful to have printed at home and on display:

Thank you for your continued support. As always, please do get in contact if ever you have any questions or concerns – parent / teacher communication is vital in keeping our children happy and performing at their best.

Here’s to another fun term in Owls!
