Victorian art!
















In year 5, we have been getting to grips with William Morris designs and having a go at producing our own William Morris inspired designs, using tile printing techniques! We had lots of fun creating our tiles, which have resulted in some fantastic prints!

Year 3 Egyptian Feast




Year 3 enjoyed rounding off their last topic with a fantastic Egyptian feast. All children made a sandwich fit for a Pharaoh (Mr Adams). After the feast children put their new mummification knowledge and skills to to the test and finished the afternoon off with some Egyptian dancing.

Year 4 update

After learning about the parts of a river, as part of our topic work, Year 4 had great fun creating their own river! They made sandbanks to direct the water and the 'river' widened as it flowed down from its source - very realistic. The best part was testng it! Buckets of water were poured into the source and down the water flowed and out into the 'sea'. There was some flooding - but that happens in real life too.





Another highlight this term has been our involvement in the World of Water project run by Saints FC and Southern Water. Thank you to all the families that took part in the water usage survey. It's amazing just how much water we use daily, isn't it! Caprice was the lucky winner of the draw for a pair of Saints tickets to an upcoming match. Well done!











The school currently has the loan of 4 sets of handbells. In our Music lessons, the children have been learning to play them and are able to play the tunes to a couple of songs. It sounds amazing! Well done Year 4.



The class would like to invite their parents and family to a school assembly at 9am on Friday 3rd February in the hall. We'll then be able to share with you a range of the work that's we've been doing this term.
