Beech Class took part in a range of problem solving and team-building activities on the first day back. They needed to use many of the Planet Inspiration characters especially Cooperation, Communication, Creativity and Perseverance. They were impressive in the way they worked together, figured out solutions to problems and supported each other.
A few photos from Beech Class’ Assembly saying goodbye to our wonderful Year 6s. It was a great performance with a lot of laughs and a few tears as well! We wish our Year 6s all the luck for their futures and you are always welcome to come back and visit!
Beech Class looked at art by contemporary artists depicting Arran and we imitated their work using a range of media including: Brusho, oil pastel, wax crayon and acrylic paint.
Beech Class studied the art of Etel Adnan, a Lebanese artist and we imitated our work following experimentation with mixing colours and learning how to choose colours that work well together.
Beech Class used a range of dying techniques including resist, Brusho and tie-dye to decorate the cushions we designed and made in DT.
Beech Class used a range of stitches to attach fabric and other items to depict underwater scenes linked with our Our Blue Planet theme.
Beech Class studied the art of a range of contemporary African artists and imitated their work linked with our work about Africa during our Global Citizens theme. We used a range of media including: acrylic paint, water colour and oil pastel resist, felt pen and poster paint.
Beech Class have used sawing, sanding, gluing and hammering skills in their DT work on structures this week. Linking to our Africa theme, we built nomadic dwellings and completed independent research to find out about the Tuareg people: a semi-nomadic tribe in the African Sahara.
A visitor from the University of Lancaster led a STEM workshop exploring structures and how engineering can be used to solve problems. We designed space-saving planting systems to grow our own cress in the classroom.
Beech Class have been learning about changes that happen to our bodies as we get older.
