Year 1 – Andy Goldsworthy
Year 1 have been studying and creating art in the style of the artist Andy Goldsworthy, he uses natural materials such as leaves, wood, clay, stones etc. to create art forms.
Working in small groups the children sketched their own design on paper before collecting natural materials from the school grounds to use to create their own art form.
I think you will agree they were very creative.
Reception – Making Postcards
Reception have been talking about holidays this week. They have discussed how they get to and from their holidays which links in with their topic on transport.

2. LOST PROPERTY Sports Day The Lost Property Box is overflowing!
Thank you to Miss Dunderdale for doing such a superb job of organising our sports day again this year. We had a lovely morning and the children heartily joined in events such as target throw, long jump, egg and spoon race and speed stacking! The support from staff, family and friends really encouraged them, thank you also to the year 5 children who came over rom the junior school to help. I am sure you were as proud of how well behaved and polite the children were as I was. I hope you enjoyed the dance routines which were organised by Miss Coles – thank you Miss Coles for all your hard work throughout the year.
