Cygnets and Ducklings had a wonderful time at Blackberry Farm on Wednesday. Although a little damp, we made the most of it and saw so many fantastic animals, we stroked them, fed them and watched them roam around their enclosures as we drove past on the tractor!

We ate our lunch and had a super time in the indoor soft play area before heading home on the coach (where lots of us fell asleep!😁)

This Week in Kingfishers

The children took part in a special art project at Amici Studio.

They began by learning about Hag Stones and exploring the beach to find two special stones that caught their attention.

In the studio, the children used their stones to create marks and patterns on paper, discovering the interesting shapes and textures they could make. The children then enjoyed exploring an interactive sound sculpture, listening carefully to the different sounds created when Hag Stones were moved along piano wires.

To finish, each child carefully placed their chosen stones onto a large sheet of special photosensitive paper, which will slowly change as it is exposed to light over the coming week.

The children showed fantastic creativity, curiosity and listening skills throughout the experience. We look forward to seeing the finished artwork, which can be viewed at Amici Studios on Saturday 6 July, 12–4pm!

It was lovely to see the Swifts walk through the door on Monday morning and they have had a brain-expanding start to Term 6.

Our Year 2s have been working on some in-house assessment papers with an attitude and effort that is a credit to them. Normal timetabling resumes for them next week.

Our Year 1s have been hyper-focused on the final push ahead of their national phonics screening this week!

This week's photo is of the Year 2s who have been working on a poetry unit on rainbow colours in their Talk for Writing classes this week!

🎨 Skylarks Art Fun! 🌈

This week, Skylarks had a wonderful time in Art learning all about primary colours and how to mix them to create secondary colours. The children enjoyed experimenting with red, blue and yellow paints and were delighted to discover the new colours they could make!

There was lots of excitement as they mixed colours, made predictions and shared their discoveries with their friends. It was lovely to see their creativity and enthusiasm throughout the lesson.

We've attached some photos for you to enjoy and see the children busy exploring and creating. 📸

Well done, Skylarks! 🌟🎨💛💙❤️
