Year 3 – sculpture
In Year 3, we are continuing tour sculpture topic in our art lessons. Today, we used wires to create strong armatures. We then covered them in foil so they looked similar to those created by Giacometti.

NSPCC Number Day – Friday 6th February 2026
On Friday 6th February, we will be celebrating NSPCC Number Day in school. Children can come to school dressed either as something number related or as a Times Table Rock star! Please see some DIY fancy dress ideas below as you really don’t need to buy anything new!
The children will take part in fun number related activities and competitions throughout the day. Friday enrichment clubs will still go ahead as usual therefore if your child usually takes part in a sport related activity on a Friday afternoon, they will still require their PE kit.
Year 4 make pan flutes
This week in Science we have been learning about how sounds can make different pitches, both high and low. We made our own pan flutes to see how sound travels through the different size straws and the different pitch of the sound. We found the longest straw had the lowest pitch and the shortest straw had the highest pitch.

Year 5 history…
Today we researched the 5 main Ancient Greek City States. We then looked at scenarios and placed people into the City State that would have best suited them. It was really hard as some people fit into more than one state but we reasoned and discussed reasons for placing them where we did.
Year 5 Gymnastics Lesson 2…
This week we looked at partner balances on 3 different levels. Some of us played it safe and perfected level 1 but some of us started on level 2. We had to hold the balances for 5 seconds so team work was a must-we were amazing!
Year 3 are brilliant artists
Year 3 are looking at sculpture in their art lessons this half term and the artist we are focusing on is Alberto Giacometti. He sketched stick men in an elongated style and also made sculptures in this style. We tried to sketch in the style of Giacometti today.
