Darrell Wakelam Visit
Year 6 had an Art day with artist Darrell Wakelam. They created 3D art with him to create four collaborative pieces of art. The children used a whole host of materials and were able to use their knowledge of how these materials worked to use them to their best advantage. Teamwork was a key ingredient in creating these amazing pieces of art - not just within their classes, but across both classes. Mr Barker and I are extremely proud of how every child was invovled in making the art and how well they represented themselves and their school.

The day the snow came
It was very exciting as we had the first snow flurry for a very long time. The children were extremely excited to go out and play in the snow with their friends.
We have also been busy building our wooden planes too. The children used saws, glue guns and were creating cardboard wings from measurements to create them.

Today Year 6 welomed Mr Bill Stephens (one of the children's great grandfather) into school to talk about his memories and experinces of World War 2. Bill was 7 when war broke and and was evacuated twice during the five years. (Along with being shot at by a messerschmitt, blown off the roof of an Anderson Shelter and watching dog-fights during the Battle of Britain!) The children thoroughly enjoyed having a talk from someone who was really there during the war, and we were delighted to welcome him to our school.
Year 6 have been investigating paper planes and how far they can fly. We then used this data to create graphs as part of our maths lessons. The next stage is for us to design and make wooden planes linked to our WW2 topic.
