Tuesday 25 November 2025 Remembrance Day We started our week with a special Remembrance Day assembly to remember those that have served in the armed forces. We learnt that originally, Remembrance Day commemorated Armistice Day and the end of the First World War, but has subsequently become a memorial day for all those that have lost their lives in any war. We also found out that there are actually four different coloured poppies, red, white, black and purple. We explored what each one represents.

Friday 21 November 2025 Stone Age in Year 3 For History on our Doorstep, Year 3 have been learning about Pre-History. We have kick started our learning this week by learning all about the three different eras of the Stone Age; Paleolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic before we move onto the Bronze and Iron Age in coming weeks.

Monday 17 November 2025 Art Week Autumn 2 We had a fantastic start to this half term with Art and DT week. The children across school enjoyed learning about new artists and appraising their work. Early Years created lovely Kandinsky style art to brighten up their outdoor area and Year 1 learned how to colour mix primary colours to create art work inspired by Jasper Johns. In Year 2 the illustrator Wayne Anderson was the inspiration behind their beautiful Tin Forest sketches and Year 3 built on their colour mixing and learned to create both tertiary colours and tones and applied this to their Piccasso inspired final pieces. Year 4 learned about local artist Norman Cornish and British artist Lowry whilst they focussed on using a foreground, middleground and background in their work.

Friday 6 June 2025 Art Week in Year 1 Year 1 have been getting creative during Art week. We have been inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's The Sunflowers as well as creating our own structures in the style of Alexander Calder.
