Christmas performance
We hope you are all excited about our Christmas performance, Wriggly Nativity. Please could all costumes be on school by Monday 06 December as we will be filming next week. Thank you.
Art topic : colour and colour mixing
We have thoroughly enjoyed our art topic and learnt lots of new skills and knowledge. We have been learning about primary (red, blue, yellow) and secondary colours. We learnt how to mix primary colours to make new, secondary colours. We added colour to the artwork we created during our visits to Leeds Art Gallery.
Art gallery trips
1A and 1,2B had amazing trips to Leeds Art Gallery today. We were art detectives – looking for shapes around the gallery. We drew what we saw and discussed the abstract art that we saw. We also visited the Henry Moore Institute next door, looking at sculptures and talking about how they made us feel. It was also very exciting going on a coach together!
Fundraising
A massive thank you to everyone who donated to our recent fundraising events – you were all unbelievably generous. We managed to raise £126.25 for our school charity – Leeds Autism Services. This was following our Odd Sock Day at the start of anti-bullying week. Last Friday we raised money for Children in Need and managed to raise £410.30.
Thank you all so much.
Science with Skittles – observing closely, asking and answering questions
We enjoyed our science lessons this week. We poured water onto a plate of Skittles and observed closely to see what happened. The children offered suggestions as to what they thought.
What happens to Skittles in water?
The water washed the colour off.
The colour got sucked away by the water.
The water absorbed the colour.
The colours all ran off together.
Smashing science
Topic – practical art (printing)
As part of our art topic, we have been learning some of the processes and skills involved in printing. So far, we have designed our picture, transferred it onto a polystyrene tile and printed in blank ink on white paper. It has been very exciting and satisfying to see our prints coming out.
Living and Learning : Anti-Bullying Week
We kicked off our Anti-Bullying Week with ODD SOCKS DAY today. Lots of children chose to wear odd socks to celebrate what makes us all unique in Anti-Bullying Week.
This week’s theme is One Kind Word. Being kind to one another and using kind words is a simple but effective way to make other people feel happier.
Our reading fluency this week talks about our school definition of bullying and how we start to tackle it.
We will remember them
We observed the 2 minutes silence at 11am on 11th November. Children also talked about family members who they know were involved in wars or part of the armed forces.
