Year 6 have been performing their war poetry to the class, showing the Waterside value of courage when reading aloud.

Today the Singing Superstars visited a Care home to sing some Christmas songs to the residents. The residents joined in with the singing, clapped along and some even had a little boogie.  We were so proud of the children. 

Year 6 have been creating a basis for their activist art over the past few weeks. They have layered different pieces of wallpaper to create a textured surface before painting it white. Over the coming weeks, they will add important messages and images to their art to convey powerful messages.

Year 6 used music technology to practice composing four bar melodies. We experimented with pitch by using a piano keyboard, seeing how the notes move on the musical stave.

Year 4 had great fun making clay creatures, mud paint and mini habitats for worms!

This week in Art we have begun our new Art topic - Exploring Watercolour. We have used the watercolours to try out a variety of techniques and to experiment with colour mixing.

Year three, had great fun exploring for bugs, we had some wonderful discussions  about why we are now finding less bugs, we all agreed that now it’s getting colder the bugs are hidden or underground to keep warm for the winter.

We got messy with mud, making our paint and made some hedgehogs…

Today our very creative year 1 children created their very own anti bullying posters and talked about the importance of being kind and friendly. 
Our children this week have been empowered by exploring the meaning of bullying and how to STAMP IT OUT!!

Year 4 ,today, in after school club got very messy! They made wonderful pattern paintings by rolling conkers in paint, made patterns with leaves, hunted for bugs and dug for worms!

Storm Babet hit us this week making it a little wet and windy to go outdoors so instead we had a craft session. We used conkers to make patterns and leaves to create hedgehogs. We enjoyed rolling the conkers to make patterns, do you like them?

Year 6 showed their understanding of Isabella’s thoughts as she breaks a promise made to her best friend, inspired by our class text ‘The Girl of Ink and Stars’.

Today we have been exploring different mediums. We have used pencils/handwriting pens to complete observational drawings of the objects we collected last week to create replicas of Andy Goldsworthy’s work. Today we focused on continual line drawing and the results were fantastic.
