Year 4 had a very exciting Tuesday morning, as they got the opportunity to visit Block 67 to take part in a fun workshop. The children looked at various artists whose artwork is based on chain reactions. Some brilliant questions were being asked, as well as ideas for their own creations. To start, the children got the opportunity to draw their own ideas down, which showed lots of fascinating designs. Then, in groups, the children got the opportunity to create their own marble

Last week was the first week of art club and as it was so cold we thought we would start with some lovely winter scenes. This week we decided to design the covers to our sketch books using an assortment of ways in which to make them colourful.

Before Christmas, the children took part in a wonderfully creative Artist Day, which blossomed into a truly special festive event for our whole school community. During the day, each class learned about a famous artist, explored their unique style, and used this inspiration to design and create their own beautiful Christmas tree decorations.

The choir have been visiting care homes and supermarkets, sharing popular Christmas songs and traditional hymns, and it was a joy to see them open our serv

Today the whole school went to our local cinema, Silver Screen, to watch Zootopia 2. We were very lucky to still be able to visit this side of Christmas as the cinema has been closed for ages to accommodate some building works, they just re-opened in time for us this morning. Everyone had a great time and were extremely well behaved.

During this term more children have had the opportunity to go reading with our Glendale buddies. We really appreciate the time that they give up to hear our children read and the children I take always say they have enjoyed themselves.

Year 3 and 4 were lucky enough to go to London to visit the 'Last Days of Pompeii' exhibition. The children got to experience a 360-degree digital show, including a seated VR adventure where they entered the coliseum and witnessed a gladiator fight, as well as explored the legendary Villa of Mysteries. All the children had a great time!
