Beech class have been using lots of instruments to work on our samba compositions.

We all had a fab Christmas dinner today! We had lovely food, crackers and some awful jokes!
Beech Class have enjoyed designing and making moving Christmas toys in design and technology this half term.

















Beech Class had a great end to our Ancient Greece topic by making tzatziki, Greek salad, honey cake and feta and spinach parcels. We loved our Greek buffet! We also did some Christmas activities and made melted snowman biscuits.














Beech class spent the morning in the World Museum where they investigated lots of Ancient Greek artefacts. In the afternoon we went to the Walker Art Gallery where we learned about the Ancient Greeks through the stories in the paintings we investigated.
















Year 6 children attended the Crucial Crew event at Alexandra Barracks. While there, they had sessions with United Utilities on water safety, NEST on support for young people, the school nursing team on health, youth services on opportunities for young people and the youth justice team on anti-social and social behaviour. The children participated well in the sessions and learned some key messages to help them as they move to high school.










Beech Class studied the portraits by Pablo Picasso and used these as inspiration for their own 3d card sculpture portraits.


As part of their study of Ancient Greeks, Beech Class learned about Greek pots and depicted their own with paint and pen and ink ahead of making their own clay pots.
