3D shapes
February 22nd, 2024Nothing like lots of hands-on learning to explore the properties of 3D shapes in the senior room! Children made 3D shapes out of spaghetti and marshmallows, magnets, worked on some problem solving challenges using cubes and completed IPad work in groups. A few marshmallows were saved for a treat after all their hard work!

World War 1
February 2nd, 2024The senior room have been exploring the topic World War 1 in SESE, English, Visual Art, Drama and Music. The children also researched a topic of WW1 that interested them to present to the school as well as a producing a creative response. A creative response could be anything the children liked as long as they were using their creative talents to create it. The standard of work the children produced was amazing. Research topics included The Role of Women in WW1, The Lusitania, Trench Life, WW1 Timeline and more. Creative responses included drawings, paintings, playing music, dioramas, 3D printing, Lego scenes and propaganda posters.
Take a look at some of the children’s work below.
