Outdoor Maths Fun!

24th October 2024Fiona Goodwin

Today in the outdoor classroom ARC 1 explored numbers in such a creative way. Using chalk and stones the children built part-whole models for numbers up to 10, helping them visualise and understand number relationships. We emphasised the use of mathematical language throughout, reinforcing key concepts. ARC 1 also got to tap into their artistic side, using natural materials from the environment to create beautiful, unique artwork. It was a wonderful blend of nature, learning and creativity, and the students loved it!

KS2 Art Club Update

16th October 2024Fiona Goodwin

Our budding artists are travelling the world through Art! Last week, we honed our sketching and shading skills to draw majestic Antarctic seals. Today, we explored vibrant traditional African patterns and created unique borders, before sketching African animals using our developing drawing techniques.

Next week, it’s all about colour! We’ll bring our sketches to life with oil pastels, then dive under the sea to discover even more amazing animals.

Class 10 – Lightning Speed Artists

16th October 2024Fiona Goodwin

Class 10 have begun their art lessons from out Lightening Speed topic. Today they were challenged to copy a picture of a flower ten times. The children said this was impossible and they couldn’t make any EXACTLY the same. They then investigated printing to fine it was somewhat more reliable. We will discover who invented the printing press and so revolutionised the spread of the written word in our next lessons.
