The last week of a successful term
Choir
Our amazing choir sang at Winchester Cathedral this week to celebrate the university students graduating. They looked and sounded brilliant. Year 3 were also very excited to find Diver Bill!
Maple
Children in Maple Class have started their DT topic of 'Shade and Shelter'. They have been discussing what these terms mean and enjoyed an afternoon in our Forest School to explore the shelters that are there, the materials that could make shelters and why the materials might be suitable. They will be using this as a starting point for their own shelters which they will design and build after half term. They have also been using their colour mixing skills to create a selection of vibrant pumpkins using different printing techniques. We think they look amazing!
Rowan
This week Rowan class became still life artists. They had a selection of items and completed some observational drawings on their choice of object. They practiced using different grades of pencil for line work and shading.
Sycamore
Sycamore have been looking at a range of humorous poems by Joshua Siegal’s book entitled ‘I don’t like poetry’. The children chose their favourite poems to work in small groups to perform! The most popular poems were called ‘Gamer’ and ‘Don’t call out!’
Elm
Year 6 have been working hard on their hockey skills this half term. They started off practising their dribbling and defending and culminated in a fantastic set of matches in the final lesson. Everyone has been involved and coaches and teachers have been very impressed with the gusto with which the children took part. We may have some future gold medal winners in our midst.
Stubbington
Year 6 enjoyed a fantastic residential trip to Stubbington last week. They took part in a whole range of activities, from sketching to den building and even navigating an Earthquake. We even got to see some real life badgers and foxes. All the children were amazing and although we ended the week very tired, everyone agreed they had a brilliant time.
