Recception
Year 2 Puppets
The whole school celebrated Diwali and every year group had the opportunity to make a ‘diva lamp’. Here are some of our youngest children learning how to shape and create using clay – what fun!

Year 2 learnt how to sew, using running stitch, when making their hand puppets. The actual sewing was the easiest part; threading the needle and tying a knot in the end of the thread – much trickier! This was a good example of ‘practice makes perfect’. It took a lot of ‘tries’, but they did it and were proud of their results.
Year 5
Year 5 were asked to design a sleeping place suitable for a soldier who is in a combat zone. They needed to consider his needs (comfort and practicality) and whether the bed would be portable or remain in place.
Mission Control
You're Not Invited
Children designed a time-keeping device suitable for a spaceman.

Year 6 had a wonderful time working on their ‘Pizza Project’. They worked in teams and put together their ‘pitch boards’ to pitch their ideas to our Leadership Team, as to why they should support their pizza company over others. They also designed and made the boxes for their pizza. Then came the tastiest part of the project – they designed and made their pizza and realised just how easy and tasty it is to make your own. Life skills that will serve them well in the future!
Year 6 also enjoyed making a pop-up card for Easter!
