Yellow Class Trip

Today, Yellow Class went on an amazing class trip to the RAF Museum in Cosford. We started with playtime on the adventure playground, which the children loved! Next, we had a session with a museum educator all about the history of flight. We explored the museum ourselves before lunch and then we had a STEM lesson where we made and launched rockets. Thank you to our parent helpers and for everyone for your support in providing this wonderful experience for the children.

‘Animals In Hands’

Our Year 1 and Year 2 children enjoyed an exciting and informative workshop today from ‘Animals In Hands’. The children shared their knowledge of animal groups and were able to see and touch some of the animals that we have been learning about in Science. We saw a stick insect, a tarantula, a tree frog, a baby barn owl, a skunk and a python.

Our Learning This Week

The children have started our new topic on Japan with great enthusiasm and have been busy creating fact-files about the country. We have then used our research to help us to produce some non-chronological reports.

In Art, we have been learning about the Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. We read the lovely book ‘Yayoi Kusama Covered Everything In Dots And Wasn’t Sorry’ by Fausto Gilberti. We were then inspired to produce our own paintings using polka dots.

We have also created some collages and tried our hand at origami!
