Today, in Year Two we have thoroughly enjoyed working with Mr. Hill, a ceramic artist. We talked about habitats being a place where plants and animals live and then we created sea creatures to place in an underwater habitat. We learnt how to make pinch pots, rolls of clay and how to use water a slip to stick the clay items together. It was great fun and we are very proud of our 'tiles' and can't wait to bring them home. ... See MoreSee Less

Year Three have enjoyed continuing their learning about different engineers today. We looked at the significiant individual 'Emily Roebling' who was vital in the building of the Brooklyn Bridge. We then were challenged to create our own bridge. This task took a lot of resilience and perserverance but we managed to get there. Some of the bridges were able to hold the weight of an iPad and a book. Great work Year Three and thanks to the help of Year Five. ... See MoreSee Less
