All this term we have been investigating the work of pop artists and specifically the work of Andy Warhol.  We have looked at the techniques he used and have attempted to use them to create our own piece of pop art.

We took an everyday item and tried to produce a copy of it 4 times.  We then…

Year 1 have been doing some of their learning outside this week. We have enjoyed comparing the lengths and heights of different objects. We have loved acting out ‘Room on the broom’ which is the story we are reading in English this week.

To inspire our recount writing next week, we took part in a variety of outdoor adventure activities this afternoon. We toasted marshmallows by the fire and talked about fire safety, we had an orienteering challenge on the field where we had to use our teamwork and mapping skills to locate items…

This afternoon in Outdoor Adventures, Reception Blessed have been getting a bit messy! We created mud paint using poster paint and different amounts of mud. The children noticed that the paint was thicker and darker than normal. We thought that this might be a good outside activity to try at…
