Year 5 - Art
Today the children worked in groups to build mixed media 3D art installations inspired by Mrs Ham’s recent worship on plastic pollution and the urgent need to recycle. They used a variety of materials including cardboard, paper, Playdoh, bubble wrap, plastic bottles, plastic cups, clingfilm and rope. The art needed to communicate the damage plastic can do to our environment using visual and interactive elements. The children did a wonderful job of working together to create powerful and unique pieces of art.
KS2 Football Training
Today, KS2 enjoyed their after-school football training, focusing on attacking overloads. The children worked on creating and exploiting 2v1 and 3v2 situations, looking at how to use width, movement and quick passing to create space and get into goal-scoring positions.
Year 6 - Building Circuits
Today in Year 6, the children built electrical circuits to investigate how adding more bulbs to a series circuit affects the output. They worked scientifically by making predictions, carefully constructing their circuits and observing how the brightness of the bulbs changed as more bulbs were added. The children then discussed their findings and used their observations to explain how the number of bulbs in a series circuit affects the circuit’s output.
