Oxtall Meadow with Year 4

Year 4 recently went on a trip to Oxtall Meadow, to look for different habitats that creatures would live in.  The children had a great time, with pond-dipping being a particular favourite!  Here are some pictures from their day.

Languages Club

Our languages club is in full flow this Summer Term and we have chosen to learn some Spanish words.  We have 5 new members and are learning some new songs and some food words too!  We began the term by learning colours and we have played board games in Spanish, counting our dice rolls and singing La cucaracha when we got a six! We also saw the names for Mister Men characters in Spanish.  Yesterday, we had a Spanish picnic, tasting Spanish chorizo and olives.

Animation in Year 5

This week, Year 5 have been learning about 'stop motion animation' and had their first attempts of creating a (very!) short clip.  Their feedback to other groups, so far, is

• You need to do tiny movements for each 'shot'
• It takes a long time!

Here are some of them.  Don't blink else you'll miss it!

Year 4 Brass Lessons

Year 4 have been learning to play various brass instruments.  Here are some pictures from one of their lessons.  They are very much looking forward to performing for their parents later in the term!
