In Year 6, the children have listened to and appraised a range of musical styles, such as swing, jazz and ballad songs. They have then learned how to compose and improvise using the pentatonic scale on glockenspiels and keyboards.
The nursery children had a lovely surprise when Year 6 came to visit and test the toys they had made in design and technology. It was wonderful to see children of both ages interacting whilst playing with the hand-turned CAM mechanism toys.
Year 6 have ended the first half term with a residential in Keswick, in the scenic Lake District. We were so impressed with the children's geographical skills, including using directional language and six grid references on an OS map.
The instructors and members of the public were delighted by the excellent behaviour and manners of the children as they carried out surveys in Keswick centre and faced the challenge of climbing Cat Bells.
Miss Oxley and Miss Taylor LOVE to read! Our door displays show some of our favourites! Stuck for your next read? Why not try...
The children have made an excellent start to Year 6 and have demonstrated an artistic flair by creating a surrealism self-portrait. Using tonal contrast, guidelines to draw the correct proportions and symbolism to represent their identity, the children have created artwork inspired by Frida Kahlo and other surrealist artists.
