5S Cam Toys

6th December 2024Mr Schofield

Over the past few expedition lessons, 5S have been demonstrating their knowledge of mechanisms by producing a cam toy which causes a planet to rotate.

They had to carefully build a box which symbolised the blackness of space, paint a ball to a planet of their choice, then assemble an intricate cam and follower mechanism inside which converts the motion into a rotation of the planet.

Well done, the finished products look brilliant!

We are Designers

Today the children in 2L completed their first draft of their catapult designs. The children worked hard and had a great first try. I can’t wait to see how their designs progress.

Expert Engineers

27th November 2024Mrs Lewis

Today as part of our expedition, ‘Rags to Riches: What lies Within the Castle Walls?’, the children in KS1 enjoyed meeting our expert Mr Mitchell who taught the children about levers. We have been learning about how castles were defended and attacked and our expert showed the children how to make catapults. The children had great fun launching their payload of pom-poms!

Thank you for coming in to help us Mr Mitchell!

Investigating Henry Moore’s art

21st November 2024Laura Brown

Today, the class investigated Henry Moore’s style of art. We gathered some information about his famous WW2 shelter sketches and annotated some of his artwork. Then, the class were excited to have a go at exploring his method with wax crayons and water colour paint. Next lesson, we will be replicating one of his famous pieces and I can’t wait to see what the class will produce!

We are amazing artists!

20th November 2024Mrs Haycock

We have been working really hard in Years 3 and 4 to produce portraits of our key artist: Henry Moore. Just look at this beautiful work to be proud of…

Every child needs to be proud of their achievements this week. I hope they take on their next artistic challenge of working with the media that Moore had available to him during World War Two with as much enthusiasm and support for each other as they have over the last few days…true crew!
