Creation Station Art Club

This was our first session of the new art club and it was very successful!  The theme this term is science - linked to gravity fields and the children produced a planets scene using crazy foam and a marbling technique.

Don't get to do this in class!

What a busy week!  Y6 and Y2 SATs plus testing for Y5's.  Best comment this week from Joseph in Y6 - 'Oh, I forgot it was SATs'.  Proving that we DON'T put the children under undue pressure and rather we encourage them to do their best and 'SHINE'!

I took the whole of KS2 for rounders on Monday afternoon last week and Emma Ross (Matthew and Benji's mum) could hear us cheering and yelling whilst she was hanging her washing out and she lives some way from the school!  We had a fabulous time and the return match is on Wednesday afternoon!

Nathan, Rueben and Jake (all Y5) were awarded a rosette for their team work during the afternoon!  Can't wait for Wednesday!!!
