For Bonfire night the children made bonfire/ firework pictures.  We used wax crayons to cover a piece of white paper then painted it with black paint.  To create and reveal the fireworks we used clay tools to score out the fireworks.

In the science lesson this week, we stood a mirror up on a piece of white paper and we made a narrow slit in a piece of card. We dimmed the lights and shone a torch through the slit towards the mirror. We then drew both the rays of incidence and reflection. After that, we drew a dashed line where…

As part of our unit on Romans, Year 3/4 have been trying to make a Roman catapult. It was tricky but we persevered and were able to successfully make different designs.

We have been learning about different celebrations. We have talked about Bonfire night, birthdays and Diwali. Look at the wonderful diva lamps and rangoli patterns we have made! 
 

In nursery we have been taking part in activities and talking all Autumn. We have been on walks to explore and look out for the changes that are happening around us.

Don’t we look fantastic in our spooky costumes?! We enjoyed sharing the story Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson. We looked at the rhyming words and made our own silly rhyming spells. We had lots of fun in the spooky sensory trays and play dough. We even wrote our own potion ingredients out and…

In Y56 we created 'human models' to demonstrate how light travels from a light source onto an object and then how it is reflected into our eyes, which enables us to see things. We worked brilliantly in our groups to create mini-videos to explain this. Here are a few pictures of us at…

What a fantastic end to our first half term in Key Stage 1. We spent the afternoon watching the film Paddington and enjoying a tea party with our special guest Paddington the Bear.

As part of our topic on WW2, we created Blitz inspired art work in the style of Claude Francis Barrie. The children first had to use colours that represented fire to create a colour washed background to show how London was burning from all the bombing. Next, the children created silhouettes to…

In geography we have been looking at human and physical features. We used Google Maps to find London and to find the human and physical features of our capital city. We had great fun zooming in and pressing on the binoculars to visit the places as if we were there.
