AUTUMN 1

Pigs Might Fly by Jonathan Emmett and Steve Cox is the story stimulus for our character description work this half term. 

We have explored paper manipulation using Van Gogh's Starry Night as our inspiration. 

We are very lucky to have a local weaving business called Linton Tweed on our doorstep. They have provided us with lots of fabric to use in our weaving to go along with old jumpers and clothing which was not good enough to donate.

We have been singing the song London's Burning, building houses in the construction area and discovering what happened and why. We have the pictures up on our timeline in the corridor so we can see how long ago this happened.

Harvest Festival was a whole school celebration where we sang our special songs for the community.

AUTUMN 2

Ridiculous! By Michael Coleman is the story stimulus for our work on story settings this half term. Parents are welcome to come to our Open Afternoon sessions to see some English lessons in action.

How many seeds are here in a pumpkin? Well an amazing amount we discovered when we opened one up. There were a lot of surprised faces! 

We will be making poppies for Remembrance Day.

Our outdoor spaces have been a brilliant source of signs of Autumn. We have been out and taken photos.

We will be designing and making our own Christmas cards with sliders or levers, prepare to be impressed. 

Mr.Wilkinson retells the Ridiculous story below.
