This week all the children from Nursery to Year 6 contributed to a whole school art project.

Julia Rigby, a talented local artist, helped the children create a giant wall hanging inspired by the local area. The children were able to learn new skills including felting, collage, working with oil pastels and weaving.

The wall hanging will be on display in the school hall after half term, please do come and have a look.

Today we had a visit from the Hindu Temple at Aldenham.

The children learnt about the origins of Hinduism, learnt how to meditate, and rein-acted the story of Rama and Sita.

During our topic lesson learning how the Romans we learnt that they were such fantastic builders.

Using some books from the classroom, a piece of paper and some playmobil characters we first of learnt that this wasn't going to make a strong bridge.

We then added an arch to discover that it was so much stronger. It would now hold 6 playmobil characters.

Having discovered that an arch is a strong structure we then tried different heights and spans of bridge to find out which is the strongest.
