Kandinsky inspired artwork

Oak Class looked at the work of different artists, focusing mainly on Kandinsky. All of the artwork was based on circles. Oak Class had a go at recreating some of this artwork.

Forest Schools- Hedgehogs and Junk Modelling

Oak & Chestnut Class have been learning about hedgehogs in Forest Schools and talking about how to look after them. Oak Class have also been looking at the book On Sudden Hill which is about a group of friends who love changing boxes into all sorts of different things. We thought we would give this a go and as well as looking at hedgehogs we also had a go at turning junk into models!

Science- Growing Beans

Chestnut Class have been growing beans in bags and documenting their progress using a bean diary. We have had to move some of them because they are getting so big!

Paul Klee inspired artwork

Oak Class have done an incredible job of creating some artwork inspired by Paul Klee. They really brighten up the corridor!

Forest Schools-Measuring

Today in our Forest Schools session Oak and Chestnut Class used string to find trees with a circumference that was smaller, bigger and the same size as their piece of string. They then had to find some natural objects of different sizes and order them. We had some fantastic teamwork going on!

Symmetry- Forest Schools

Today in our Forest School session we made some symmetrical patterns using natural objects. We made some beautiful patterns. When we had finished using natural objects, we also had a go at drawing a symmetrical picture on the playground with chalk.

Orbiting

Today in our forest school session we talked about the sun being a star and how different planets orbit the sun. One person got to be the sun and we had a go at orbiting in rings around them. We also found other things in the playground that we could orbit. We had a go at making stars from different natural things. They were all wonderful!
