What a way to start the count down to Christmas. 
This week has seen the pantomime. A treat for us all, lots of laughing and singing. The children were impeccably behaved and a credit to you all.

Wednesday saw our Christmas dinner day.

Thursday we shared our Christmas songs with the parents and the children sang their hearts out.

We wish you all a very happy Christmas and will see you on Tuesday 7th January 2025!

Our final computing lesson this term, we learnt about the artist George Seurat. We looked closely at his picture and realised he had used dots. We learnt this was all pointillism artwork. The children we all challenged to use the computer on paintz.app to create their own pointillism master piece. 

Our DT project this term has been making a windmill. We've enjoyed exploring our design skills to create our own model windmills. 
We discussed making our structures stable, it took at lot of lung power to decided that the cup needed to be a certain way up and we needed to add weight to stop it from moving.
We used our cutting skills to make our sails and looking at whether the length of the sails impacted the weight.
Combining the structure and the sails became the real challenge. 
Lots of head scratching and frustration meant a class discussion on how we could improve and adapt our windmills to work.
​The class worked really hard and rose to the challenge. 

What an amazing performance! Mrs Goodwin and I are so incredibly proud of the hard work the children put into their dance and singing. My favourite part of a performance in front of parents is watching each individual child's personality shine out on stage. 

We loved having the parents in the class, instead of a book look, we enjoyed sharing our new computing skills. We were using our new skills to recreate a Wassily Kandinsky master piece. We also had a story time with those parents who were able to come in to see us.
