Question and Answer session with Mrs. Appleby- Thursday, 10th June
A big thank you to Mrs. Appleby who answered all our questions about school menus, healthy eating , allergies , ingredients, recipes and more! We learnt a
lot and really enjoyed discussing 'food'!
Summer 1 Topic: Water , Water Everywhere!
Our lead subjects are - History, Geography, Science and Art and Design.
We will be learning about rivers and the water cycle in Geography. In History, we will be exploring the ancient civilisation - 'Ancient Egyptians' and focusing on the River Nile. In Art and Design, we will be creating our own 'sea' paintings inspired by the famous artists and painters Constable and Hokusai. In Science, we will be learning about 'Solids, Liquids and Gases'.
End of Unit- Our Art Outcomes on Canvas
We were inspired by the artwork of Hokusai, Constable and Monet to create our own 'water-themed' paintings on canvas. We used lots of different materials like sand, PVA glue, pastels and paints to create a range of textures. It was fun exploring and experimenting with a range of media. We also evaluated our paintings in our book and reflected on what we could do better.
Overall it was a fun and exciting process and we are all very proud of our final outcomes! Well done to everyone!

A big thank you to Mrs. Hughes for accompanying our class!

The Story of Palm Sunday
Garden of Gethsemane
We created the Garden of Gethsemane using sticks, stones, twigs and flowers from our school ground. We enjoyed having our lesson outdoor. When we drew our pebbles, we thought about Jesus being all alone and how he must have felt.
