Base 7 Christmas Picnic

While the Juniors are eating their Christmas dinner, the infants are busy enjoying a Christmas Picnic in the classroom.

There was a very festive atmosphere in the classroom.

Mrs Hill apologies that some of the photos are almost identical, but we wanted to make sure everyone got in on the act!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

We wish you a Merry Christmas

Because of COVID restrictions, we can’t sing our usual Christmas songs, or have a nativity in school.

This doesn’t mean that the children are missing out completely on Christmas though.

Base 8, our Year One class has learned to sign ” We wish you a Merry Christmas” and we wish to share it with you all.

Merry Christmas – get ready for cuteness overload!

Diwali in Reception

On Friday 13th November we celebrated the Hindu festival of Diwali in school.  Here are a few of the things that Reception got up to, including making Diwali sweets, modelling diyas (small oil lamps), making garlands and Rangoli patterns and decorating the home corner for the festivities!

Base 4 DT

Base 4 have started to create their very own Automata Toy. The spent Thursday using hack saws, using their accuracy skills with measuring and using hand drills.

Apologies for the lopsided photos – Miss Hedges is having trouble with WordPress today and will try again later !

Base 5 and the Ancient Egyptians

Some of the pictures show the children in Base 5 exploring different books based on our current topic: How much did the Ancient Egyptians achieve?

The children loved looking through our selection of topic books and finding new information about the Ancient Egyptians. They especially enjoyed the fold-out book that had a huge map of the river Nile!

Other pictures show some children’s art work. Children were using wire to create familiar Egyptian symbols such as a scarab beetle and The Eye of Horus. The children had to using joining, bending and shaping techniques to form the outline of the symbols.

Thank you Base 5 – it is really interesting to keep up with how much you are learning about the Ancient Egyptians and their way of life.
