A Pirate's life for me

Today we were treated to a wonderful assembly all about PIRATES, by class 1/2F.

They enthralled us with their stories of different pirates, their costumes, flags and their wanted posters!

A wonderful rendition of the well known pirate song - the day I went to sea, wrapped up the assembly and a  final pirate roar brought the proceedings to a conclusion.

Well done to all the staff and children involved and many thanks to parents for the wonderful array of costumes.

Foundation artistic expression

This week FS2 were set the challenge for  homework of creating a piece of art related to Bonfire night or Diwali. Some excellent results!

 

 

 

It was also great to see a new display appear in  the classroom -  a funny bones display - using the skeletons they had created with art straws.

 

 

A trip to the Black Country Museum

On Monday our year 6 children and staff all enjoyed a fascinating day at the Black Country Museum as part of their Victorians topic. Lots to see and learn about and the experience of dressing to reflect the era. School was certainly different, the shops and the mine, but the sweet shop still had the same attraction as ever!

The wonders of the universe

Year 5 have been putting their artistic skills to work to create models of our universe - wonderful use of imagination, colour and different takes on how to present the planets.

World War Two in year 3

The title isn't suggesting that war has broken out in year 3, but that this is their topic for this academic term!

Last week they visited Beaumanor Hall and had a great day experiencing what the life of an evacuee might have been like. As part of their learning they have been considering why gas masks were so important and they have turned this into a creative design and technology project!
