This afternoon, Upper School explored different time signatures and rhythms through 'The Piglet Polka'. We spoke about the importance of maintaining a steady tempo and playing the notes to their full length. The children worked together to improve their overall sound. It has been brilliant to see them showing good progress and improved understanding each week, within their lessons. Well done!
Upper School have been working hard in their music lessons this afternoon. They have been echoing and moving to help them rehearse a variety of songs.
They've also been considering how songs may sound in other languages. To fit in with our work around Peace and Conflict in World War I, the children have been singing Silent Night. However, they've been singing it slightly differently today as they've sung it in German! You can see the first verse below. Well done, children.
The children in Team Endeavour have worked extremely hard this half term and have continually blown me away with their creativity and enthusiasm to get involved in our foundation subjects!
Here they all are standing proudly with their own designs printed onto their Jubilee t-shirts!
Today in English, we kick started our new unit of 'A letter to my future self' by reading an example one!
The children enjoyed looking at the pictures, reading the letter and playing the games which were mentioned within it such as: Cat's Cradle and hand clapping games.
Here they are, very excited, whilst exploring our new genre of writing!
Over the coming week, the children will be writing their own letter to future versions of themselves!
Today, Team Endeavour put their design skills to the test! They have started to create their very own design to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee.
The children have blown me away with their creativity and ability to remember all of the skills they've been taught!
Here are some of the pupils looking extremely proud of their designs!
Yesterday, the children experimented with making different tie-dye patterns and today we have used those vibrant pieces of art work to create outfits in the style of the 1970s.
The children are thoroughly enjoying our 'Through the Decades' topic and have been so enthusiastic!
Here are some of our young designers showing off their outfits!
This afternoon, the children revisited their design skills from last week and learnt how to add text to designs. In addition to this, they learnt how to create an offset of their text and to curve it too!
After learning and revisiting these skills, the children were tasked with creating a logo that reflected themselves!
Here are some of their designs!
As part of Team Endeavour's art lesson this afternoon, we have been learning different types of stitches to create a Jubilee image. The children have made a good start, have shown great resilience and such a helpful, kind and caring attitude to their peers. We are looking forward to coming back to this next week!

Today the children, in Team Endeavour, had their first Computing session using Cricut Design Space.
The children have learnt how to insert,align, rotate and resize shapes. They have also learnt how to weld two shapes together and how to slice one shape out of another!
Over the coming weeks, the children will be learning lots of new skills to help them design and create their own T-Shirt design to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee.
After sharing the WAGOLL with the children, they are all very excited to create their own version of the design!
