some fantastic maps. Well done, Elm!

Oak class explored Italian Renaissance art by painting on plaster, just like artists of the time. Focusing on sfumato, drawing with clear lines and blending colours, they created a beautiful collection of sun-themed designs ☀️🎨

Continuing our PKC topic 'All about me', Preschool learned about the

Last week, Willow Class visited the Planetarium to deepen their understanding of their science topic on Space. They loved exploring the stars and planets. Later in the week, during RE, they shared special artefacts and explained their personal significance.

In RE last week, Year 2 Maple class discussed artefacts and how these are objects which are important. They brought and  discussed objects they have at home which are special to them and why.

In Art last week, Olive class became sculptors. Following the style of Miro, they manipulated clay into several 3D shapes and molded them together to make an abstract sculpture.

As part of Pre-School's @pkckst.bsky.social topic 'Heroes and adventures' they had Little city in to help us explore different jobs that local heroes have. The children enjoyed dressing up and role playing jobs like the postman, fire fighter, builders, hair dressers and café worker.

Willow class started exploring Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare. They discussed the themes of love and comedy, as well as exploring the main characters. They used lollipop sticks to act out the first part of the story and the dilemmas of unrequited love.

Last week, to bring their our History learning to life, Year 5 visited the British Schools Museum. The children were able to experience a day in the life of a Victorian school child.

Pre School had a very exciting visit from @zoolabuk.bsky.social last week! They learnt about different animals and even got to see some, including a corn snake and a scorpion. The children were very brave, holding some of the animals and showed great respect to them.

A huge well done to Y6, who had a phenomenal time on their residential. It's been lovely to hear about the memories made. We are very proud of them! Also a huge thank you to our staff team for giving up their own time from their own families to ensure that this trip could happen!

Pre-school's new @pkckst.bsky.social topic on 'Heroes and Adventures' kicked off with the story of Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space. Children loved learning about astronauts and gravity. They blasted off on missions and created ‘moon rocks’. A fantastic start to our new topic!

Day 2 at Rock UK! 
We put our aim to the test with archery, pushed our limits in "Above and Beyond," took on the climbing wall again, and so much more. The energy and enthusiasm have been amazing — so proud of how everyone is challenging themselves and supporting each other!
