A lovely Harvest celebration - a HUGE well done to each of the Y2 children that took part in our lovely assembly this morning and a massive thank you to each and every family that sent donations in to school, a real rainbow of colour filled our hall today!
The final pieces!
We have had a busy few afternoons this week creating some fantastic art pieces based on The Great Fire of London. We have been mixing paints and experimenting to see what effects we can create using a range of paintbrushes and sponges. We then made silhouette images using card and our clever cutting skills.
Part Two of our Great Fire of London workshop day - A full afternoon of arts and crafts. We made Plague charms out of clay, beautiful smelling pomanders and even had a go at writing in Samuel Pepys secret code using quill pens and ink.
The Great Fire of London Role Play Morning - A truly wonderful morning - great fun had by all whilst learning so many facts from the past!
