Year 5 continued their South America work. We studied the Amazon River and thought about wildlife, location and use. We discussed our Catholic Social Teaching question, focusing on Stewardship of God's creation.
I was really impressed with the Fact Files produced by the class, which showed care, understanding and outstanding presentation. Well done Year 5!

The children enjoyed a lovely activity based on the story “Red Bird, Red Bird, What Do You See?”. They had great fun exploring the text, talking about the characters

Year 3 learned how earthquakes and volcanoes happen, including tectonic plates, with diagrams to support their learning.

Year 5 have been exploring the artist, Leonardo Da Vinci. We have examined some of his artwork, considering the techniques and inspiration he may have employed. We then explored how to create texture and tone through various skills. The work produced has been incredible, and the development of skills is evident in all their sketches.

Year 6 have sketched beautiful, detailed drawings, inspired by our focus artist, Banksy. We analysed some of his most famous street art and discussed the messages that he may be trying to convey before applying our sketching skills. The results are amazing and Mrs Exley came to see our work too.
Well done year 6!

We concluded our busy autumn term with another heart-warming carol service in the church. It was wonderful to see so many parents, friends, and family members joining us to share in this special celebration. The children led the singing with a selection of traditional and contemporary carols.
The children's clear voices and respectful behaviour were a credit to the school and we wish all our families a very merry Christmas and a peaceful new year.
