Year 5 have started their art topic for spring term looking at the graffiti artist Banksy. We studied a range of his artworks, sketched them then completed a critical analysis.

A great start to Cooking Club this spring term for Years 5 and 6! The children made healthy pizzas by spreading tomato purée onto wraps and adding a range of toppings, including mushrooms, peppers, sweetcorn, ham and pepperoni. They practised cutting vegetables carefully and safely, worked well together, and showed responsibility by helping with washing up and cleaning the tables afterwards. It was a slice of fun and a really topping start to the term! 🍕

In science, we carried out an exciting investigation to answer the question: Is yeast a living thing? To test this, we added warm water, one teaspoon of sugar, and a packet of yeast into a bottle, then carefully stretched a balloon over the top. We predicted what might happen and watched closely. Before long, we noticed the balloon beginning to inflate! We learned that the yeast used the sugar for energy and released a gas called carbon dioxide. This gas filled the balloon, c

Today, the children recapped their prior learning about human organs and revisited the journey of food through the digestive system. We reminded ourselves of key organs and new scientific vocabulary, thinking carefully about how food moves through the body and changes along the way. To bring the learning to life, the children took part in an energetic “Ready, Steady, Digest!” activity. They followed step-by-step instructions to demonstrate how a banana sandwich is digested, t

Children in Year 4 were horrified to discover that the book corners in their classrooms had been wrecked. Pages had been torn from books, leaving the scene in complete disarray. Luckily, CCTV footage captured the culprit: a mysterious figure wearing a hooded cloak, with their face hidden from view. The children used a wide range of adjectives, expanded noun phrases and modifiers to describe the appearance and personality of possible suspects, creating vivid and imaginative de

Year 4 have begun an exciting new art topic based on tie-dye and quilt making. We started by learning about the colour wheel, exploring primary, secondary and tertiary colours and how they are created. The children were also introduced to complementary colours and discussed how different colour combinations can be used to create striking designs. This topic links closely with Science, as we learned about Isaac Newton and his discovery of the colour spectrum, helping the child

Year 6 have thoroughly enjoyed delving into the mysterious story of Daniel Holmes, Mr Silver and the incredible “Nowhere Emporium”. Here is what we have achieved so far. We have written some fantastic setting descriptions based on the opening night of the emporium-we have included sensory imagery and figurative language to book and engage our readers. We can’t wait to see what we can achieve next. Maybe we have some future authors in our midst? Watch this space!

On Friday 12th December, our drama club had a fantastic afternoon at Sandwell college. We had front-row seats to a pantomime of Alice in Wonderland, performed by the performing arts students studying there. It was funny, silly and made us laugh out loud! We were amazed at the costumes and very excited to be in a real theatre and loved getting involved in the audience participation parts of the show. We even got to have a photo with Alice at the end!

In School Council's Autumn school survey on technology, pupils expressed an interest in using computers to create art. As a result of this, this week in Year 3, we looked at a character description of the Grinch and had a go at using an online platform called Tate Paint to create a piece of digital art. We enjoyed experimenting with the different brushes and textures available to use and adding the features mentioned in the character description, like the fence that the sneak
