Portraits

The children have creating self portraits with wonderful backgrounds, inspired by the work of Van Gogh. They have spent a long time drawing their faces and making sure they look just right - the end results are wonderful.



































































































Cathedral Trip


Today Year 2 visited Worcester Cathedral as part of their RE work - the sun shone and we had a great day looking around and finding out all about the cathderal. The children all had a great day and learned loads, thanks to Mrs Burns, Mrs Nash and Mrs Stedman for coming with us.










We saw some fantastic stained glass windows in the cathedral - they told lots of different stories like the creation of the world and Noah's Ark.













We walked around the cathedral really quietly like the monks did. We saw the golden lectern with the eagle, went down into the crypt, lit a candle and thought about friends and families and even pretended to baptise a baby in the font just like we did in school with Mrs Kay.









We sketched some of the patterns we saw around the cathderal, these floor tiles were lovely.






We made prayer stones, Sue showed us how to draw on the stones then the grown ups used silver and gold pens to decorate our drawings.

Book Character Day



On Friday 10th October we all dressed up as our favourite book characters. We had a special assembly where everyone paraded round so we could see all the wonderful costumes.

In the afternoon Mrs Jennings Year 5 class visited and performed their raps - they were very impressive!

Our Favourite Places

Hedgehog group had their PSHE lesson in Forest School today - we all explored the site and chose our favourite places then took a photo. Some of us liked quiet places where we could just sit and listen to the noises in Forest School, some of use chose fun, noisy places like the mud pit! We all had different ideas and took some great photos - have a look.
