Erupting our volcanoes!

Volcano Day - the class loved learning about volcanoes this week and have created some amazing volcanoes in groups. They will erupt these later this week!

Fishkeeper Fry - Week 2. This week we have checked the water levels and added live plants ready for our fish next week.

This week we had a visitor from Doodlebug who taught us to draw the character Gromit. He also talked to us about being perseverant and not being afraid to make mistakes and to always use a growth mindset when facing a challenging task. We are very proud of our drawings.

We have started our Fishkeeper Fry programme and set up our fish tank. We are very excited to get fish soon.

In Art we are learning about prehistoric art. We have been looking at cave drawings and created our own line drawings of animals similar to these using charcoal.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

In D&T we have made cushions. The children were really perseverant with sewing.

In Computing, the pupils created stop-motion animations using iPads. They are fantastic!
