Today the children in 2L completed their first draft of their catapult designs. The children worked hard and had a great first try. I canāt wait to see how their designs progress.

Expert Engineers
Today as part of our expedition, āRags to Riches: What lies Within the Castle Walls?ā, 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!

Henry Moore portraits
Investigating Henry Mooreās art
Today, the class investigated Henry Mooreās 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 canāt wait to see what the class will produce!

We are amazing artists!
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 ofā¦
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 daysā¦true crew!

Snowflake Crafts
We are artists!
We have been using the skills that we have been building up recently to sketch a portrait of our key artist: Henry Moore. Our skills of observation and proportion have improved dramatically and I cannot wait to see the finished portraits later this week!
Keep looking carefully and working hard everyone. Your artwork is fabulous!

Designing Caves
Weāre Going On A Bear Hunt – uh ohhhā¦ a cave!
The children came up with some great adjectives to describe a cave: spooky, rocky, muddy, scary, cold, dark, gloomy, dirty. Then in provision the children enjoyed designing and making their own caves – with things that the bear might like to have in their cave. #LovePlover
Crew Meade Pay Their Respects
In crew last Thursday, we talked about real life heroes and soldiers who have lost their lives, been injured or fought in wars. We discussed how it is important to celebrate and remember these kind people, as part of Remembrance Sunday. We spoke about the significance of a poppy and made our very own poppy hand wreath. Abbie and Mustafa respectfully laid our wreath today in assembly, as we had a whole school 2-minute silence. #LovePlover
