Base 5 painting went outside this morning to paint ‘en plein air’ in the style of Claude Monet.
Claude Monet is the French ‘Impressionist’ artist that they are currently studying.
They are really glad that they did this in the morning sunshine and beat the rain!
During lockdown Mair and her Nan made a bag and Mair has sent in some photographs to show us.
Well done Mair – this is really lovely.
Mair had to design and draw templates and make notes on it.

Here’s a few pictures from last week’s Fitness session. Miss Oliver ran her first Moorfield Mile with Base 5! The children did an excellent job as usual and are all well on their way to completing the Moorfield Marathon. Mrs Harvey is really pleased to see the children’s fitness levels improving week after week.
Ho Ho Ho, Merry Fitness!
From Mrs Harvey and Base 5
Last year it was snowing in Base 3 and the rest of the school didn’t even realise!
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.
Music Heroes are in school this week doing their regular lessons.
Lots of children are now learning guitar and piano and also Jenny Burgess is in school teaching woodwind instruments.

Base 5 and Base 6 were lucky enough to do some outdoor learning at Deer Park this week.
Both classes took part in a nature day and we have added some photos so that you can see some of the activities that took place.
