Chinese New Year in Nursery

Nursery have really enjoyed celebrating Chinese New Year this week.  We have learnt about the Chinese Zodiac story (the great animal race) and how the Chinese community prepare for and celebrate this special occasion. We’ve also particularly focused on developing fine motor skills by using chopsticks, copying Chinese symbols and writing Chinese numerals in rice.

Children in Need Activities

After talking about where our donations for Children in Need Day will go, the Nursery children really enjoyed decorating Pudsey masks and pictures using a range of mark-making tools.  We focused on using the pens, pencils, crayons and paint dabbers with precision and control as well as paying close attention to detail.  Don’t they look […]

Cave Paintings

Year 3 have been learning about the Stone Age and how early people learned to communicate. The children were fascinated by the cave painting at Lascaux in France from approx 18,000 years ago. Our Year 3 pupils have created their own art in the style of stone age cave paintings.  

Circus Week

Last week we were lucky enough to have the circus come to Lord Scudamore.
