Year 6 enjoyed a trip to Solent Sky Museum as part of their History topic 'Britain at War'. They saw first-hand the famous Spitfire plane and explored the Home Front exhibition to find out more about life during World War 2. They also had the chance to 'fly' a fighter jet!
Kestrel class are thoroughly enjoying their art topic 'Bees, beetles and butterflies' and have produced some absolutely brilliant work based on this theme. They have learnt how to use a sketchbook to explore the visual qualities of insects, made detailed observational drawings and studied the work of artist Lucy Arnold. They have also explored printmaking techniques.
Here are just a few examples of their fabulous work!
Kestrels had a fantastic day learning about a wide variety of cultures. This morning they had interesting talks from parent visitors about Nigerian, Kenyan and Somali cultures. They were lucky enough to try some delicious homemade snacks (samosas and kaimati). They also enjoyed a class game of cricket!
This afternoon, our class 'experts' worked with small groups to teach their classmates about their cultural heritage. This included learning about language, religious beliefs and stories, festivals, popular games and looking at traditional costumes. They did an amazing job! We finished off the day with cakes decorated as part of our own Afternoon Tea.
