On Monday, the children designed their own fence weaves and dyed fabric in preparation for making these weaves, in the coming weeks. We hope that they have been inspired to become artists or designers when they grow up! Dyeing fabrics was exciting and engaging for all pupils. The children also commented on how they enjoyed this sensory experience. Well done Year 3! ... See MoreSee Less

Last week in Year 3, we continued learning about weaving. The children got to experiment with weaving techniques. We made this task exciting, engaging, and relevant by linking it to Roman fabric and how people used to create fabric by hand; we only selected colours available to the Romans. They all enjoyed this sensory activity and enjoyed helping and supporting each other to perfect their techniques. As a result of this, the children all received a learning point for understanding others. ... See MoreSee Less

The Year 1 children were very excited this week to complete one of our unforgettable 11B411 promises. Our promise was ‘Seeds to Supper’ in which we had to grow something to eat. We planted some mystery seeds and predicted what we thought they might grow into. We cared for our seeds while they grew until they were ready to eat! We discovered that the seeds had grown into cress. We learned how to safely prepare our surfaces and food before making some cheese and cress sandwiches to try. All of the children implemented our school learning behaviour ‘Try New Things’ by eating their cress! What an exciting and engaging opportunity! ... See MoreSee Less
