• A Fine Array of Division - Elm

  Fri 31 Jan 2020

  On Monday, Maple Class showed off their talents to their parents and the children in KS1.  The class assembly on the Great Fire of London showed not only what they've learned in History but also in English, Music, Art and PE. The children were fantastic and made me very proud!

• Rowan class creating their own dragons!

  Thu 30 Jan 2020
  In Rowan class we have been reading the book 'Tell me a Dragon'. Mother Dragon visited us last week and left four eggs in our class, three have hatched but one is still unhatched. Each table made a dragon to try and make Mother Dragon come back to help hatch the last egg. We used some super adjectives to describe our dragons too! 

  

• EYFS celebrate Chinese New Year

• Elm Class have an Art Attack

  Tue 28 Jan 2020

  Linking to our main topic of China, today Elm class investigated Chinese ceramics, specifically from the Ming dynasty.  We discussed the main subjects of the vases and plates before having a go ourselves in our sketch books.  Later we honed our drawing skills by putting our designs onto a vase template in the classic blue colour, using pressure and different drawing techniques to make as many different shades of blue we could using only one pencil.  

   

  I'm sure you'll agree that our final products are worth the millions that a real vase would go for at Christie's.
