This week, Year 6 have started to learn about a new artist. His name is L.S. Lowry and we have spent time researching his life and most famous works. The children have already started to create a fact file on his life before and after he was an artist. We are looking forward to developing our skills in the next few weeks and learning to paint in the style that he did!

Well done to Humayra and Saarah in Alexandrite for their stunning work on inference. This is a difficult activity but they rose to the challenge and gathered facts to infer the character's emotion. We are very proud of you and can't wait to see you own stories containing inference next

In Year 3 this week, children have been using practical resources to represent numbers to 1000 in our Maths lessons. They have then applied this understanding to work out numbers to 1000 represented using base 10 and part-whole models. Check out their books!

This week in nursery we have continued to explore the environment and join in with lots of play and learning! The children have been making pictures of themselves on paper plates, drawing family portraits and painting pictures of their friends. In the outdoor area the children have been riding the bikes, playing musical instruments and looking at books in our reading garden. We have also celebrated some children’s birthdays in nursery by having a special snack and singing songs!
