Year 2DK - Protect the Bees

As part of Earth day 🌎 last week Year 2DK learnt about Bees 🐝 and why it is so important that we protect and look after them. We took part in a art tutorial to draw a bee and made flowers to explain why it is important to look after them. 🐝 🌸 🍎 We also tried some Honey! I was blown away with all their amazing drawings and flowers. 😃I can’t wait to put them on display. Well done Year 2DK! 👍

4JI Detective Day

 4JI took part in a Detective Day, trying to solve the kidnapping of our beloved Coco the Koala! 

We had 4 main suspects, Mrs Burton, Mr Pawley, Mrs Blake and Miss Staples.

We conducted interviews, looked at the crime scene extensively and made our predictions.

We found out the guilty party was Miss Staples!

We wore detective costumes and had a great time! :)

Year 6 - World War Two Explorers

 World War Two Explorers

This week, Year 6 have been working extremely hard in our topic lessons - we are learning all about World War II. 

Here are some of the things that we did this week:

We created a WWII skyline using the skill of blending colours and creating landscapes using silhouettes.

We created our own propaganda posters to encourage women to join the war effort and take on new roles as men went off to fight.

We baked chocolate cakes using a recipe that was actually written in WWII - influenced by the introduction of rationing.

Here is what we found:

We then created our own Kandinsky-style artwork using various shapes, angles and colours.

Here is some of our work:
