Autumn 2023
Art & Design
As part of our Art lessons we looked at where different artists get their inspiration from. During one lesson we went outside and chose a variety of natural objects and arranged them in our own abstract patterns and designs. We collected a selection of objects to take to class to form our own abstract compositions with natural forms. Our observational skills were tested as we drew some autumn leaves looking carefully at the details.
Gymnastics
Sequence 1
Sequence 2
Sequence 3
During our Gymnastics sessions we were taught a variety of balances, jumps, rolls and travels. In each session, we worked to develop our skills using strength and stamina and perseverance, through both individual and paired work. We concluded all of our sessions by combining the skills into individual sequences and combinations.
Anti-bullying week - odd socks day
We began anti-bullying week by wearing odd socks. We discussed how we need to celebrate and accept people's differences. We created our own sock designs using different patterns and designs to show our uniqueness.
During the week we discussed how to be a good friend and where to go if we needed help.
Computing - Online Safety
As part of out computing curriculum, we learnt about how to stay safe online. We identified how we communicate online, who we should trust online and what to do if we felt uneasy about anything that we come across.
We watched a cartoon that gave us all the help and information needed.

Design & Technology - Making a fruit salad
As part of our Design Technology project we tasted a variety of different fruits. We used our planning grids to note down our favourites. We then designed our fruit salad by thinking of what fruits would work well together and what would look appealing. After choosing our fruits we prepared and chopped them up into similar sizes. We arranged our fruits creatively in our bowls. The best part was the tasting of our final products. As you can tell by our faces, they were a big, yummy success!!
