During our ‘Create’ term Year 5 studied sculpture. Their sculptures were all inspired by Niki de Saint Phalle (1930-2002) and throughout the creative process her works of art were on display in the classroom. Each piece was considered with her techniques, and use of form and colour, in mind. Each […]

Here are over 300 photos taken during today’s Sports Day, The weather was good for us and, just as on Monday, the children were amazing! We are, again, incredibly proud of them all.
Y5 are busy putting layers of papier-mâché over their plasticine model animals. It’s the final piece of their “Whimsy” topic inspired by the works of Nikki de Saint Phalle.
Last Friday Urban Strides visited Holy Trinity and worked with all of the Key Stage 2 classes. We first came across Urban Strides when they were performing at Young Voices last year and they were spotted by the choir. A year later than planned (due to the pandemic) they came […]
The next part of Panther Class’ work inspired by Niki de Saint Phalle is mosaic work on bowls they had enhanced with papier-mâché. The materials they are using for the mosaics are the off-cuts from Toucan Class’ ‘Rainbow Crow’ feather paintings.
Year 5 are creating sculptures this term, inspired by the works of French-American artist Niki de Saint Phalle. The first stage of this process was to look at de Saint Phalle’s decorating style and develop it to decorate existing models. The children planned their designs and then painted them onto […]
In the week before half term the children in Panther Class were given these 15 pieces of art and asked to interpret them in any way they wished. The results, underneath, are fantastic! Well done to all the children who took part – each time one was submitted the lockdown […]
In the end of term confusion these Christmas animations weren’t made public. Apologies to Year 5 but, in the spirit of wearing Christmas t-shirts all year round, here they are at last. These were all made at home and, apart from a Star Wars-themed stop frame (well done Thomas!), all […]
Year 5 are creating stop frame animations. During the two Computing lessons after their recap on 2Animate Panther Class have created animations using Lego, and by drawing on whiteboards. The principals are “simple, small, still” and it’s great to see how they are improving.
Panther Class are going to be creating stop frame animations between now and Christmas. To get them back in the mindset of ‘Simple & Small’ (simple concept, small changes) they revisted 2Animate. Here’s how they did…
Today to mark Remembrance Day each class marked the occasion individually at 11am. In addition, for this afternoon’s whole school assembly, Miss Todd took Raven Class to the memorial in the Public Gardens and lead our daily virtual assembly from there. A wreath was laid, a minute’s silence held, and […]
Miss Todd: On Friday in assembly I had the pleasure of announcing the jaw dropping total of the fundraising from the Sponsored Walk. I am thrilled, humbled and stunned to share with you that we have raised £4825.65 with a number of families telling me they still have money to bring in. […]
Y5 are going to be learning about the Shang Dynasty this term, but first we’ve had a brief introduction to China to better understand its place in the world. As part of this we’ve made kites, learned about the complex form of Chinese script and painted out own names, and […]
On Friday, we completed our STEM Week with an exciting visit from Subject Revolution. KS1 and EYFS travelled around an amazing new world working together in practical maths challenges to help Prince Lunimo tidy up for the Queen. The children worked to pass through each maths challenge zone, undetected by the invading […]
Today the children were put into mixed-age groups named after scientists, and worked together on a range of STEM-related activities. During the course of the day the children learned about how to care for the chicks, created a house of cards, made pictures out of perfect squares, built towers from […]
Panther Class went on a walk up the High Street this morning to make observations on food retail outlets as part of STEM Week!
It started with Booky Breakfast – thank you to everyone who was able to join us! And then Toucan Class visited Halsead Library and WHSmith. They learnt all about what the library does and how we can use it. At WHSmith they spent their World Book Day tokens. They all […]
Jeudi dernier, l’année 5 a pris un petit-déjeuner français et a fait semblant de gérer nos propres restaurants. Les enfants ont dû utiliser un menu français pour rédiger les reçus et calculer le total de la facture, etc.
The children in Year 5 have created these Christmassy images for you using 2Paint-A-Picture in Purple Mash.
Year 5 are creating stop frame animations. For the third week they have created drawing animations using the same principals as before: simple, small, still! It’s great to see again how they are improving.
Year 5 are creating stop frame animations. In the second week they worked with a variety of objects from around the classroom. You can see they are getting the hang of it!
Year 5 are creating stop frame animations. For the first week they worked with Lego. Here are their first attempts…
Year 4 have been creating graphics using Google Drawings, and Year 5 are about to start creating stop frame animations, so to mark Bonfire Night, here are some fireworks pictures by Jaguar Class & some firework animations (put together as a video) by Panther Class.
The Year 5s have a Homework Club at lunchtime to provide a peaceful enviroment for those who wish to get their homework done without distraction.
In science this week Year 5 had to try and keep their ice pops* frozen for half an hour so they could eat them. Each group were given three ice pops to preserve, whilst three control pops sat and melted. Mostly the groups managed to keep things cool, but as […]
Building up to a final piece using techniques of their own chosing, in weeks two and three of their stop motion work Year 5 experimented with Lego and drawing to make short animations.
This week we were delighted to welcome poet Matt Abbott to school to write poetry with children across the school. On Wednesday he worked with Year 6 and they have written a collaborative poem which will soon be shared in video form and be put on display in the school. […]
Y5 have started creating stop motion animations. These were their first attempts, and I’m really pleased with how they kept their ideas simple and took their time to create some smooth movements. There are over 700 individual photos in this video. Next they will develop their skills to create more […]
