Pen Pal letters

Hola a todos!

This year we are going to partner to a school called CEIP Esperanza, based in Madrid.

Year 1 students were so excited writing their letters to Primero (year 1) in Spain.

We told our friends in Spain about our name, age and favorite colours in Spanish.

Hasta pronto!

Bienvenidos! - Welcome back!

All the pupil's answer was: Muy Bien!, so we are glad you had an amazing summer.

In our first week back we have been revising all the things that we learnt in Spanish.
In KS1 Spanish club we talked about ourselves:

Seaside Art

Year One have been focusing on the fundamental of Collage this half term. After their exciting trip to the beach at Southend with sketchbooks in tow, they returned to school full of ideas and observational drawings from the beach. 

 

 

 

 

 

These drawing ideas informed their work, we painting paper to recreate the textures we found at the seaside. Then we constructed beach huts from lollipop sticks to layer our work and create background and foreground. Amazing work Year 1, you should be very proud of all you have achieved in Art this year!

Last week we saw an impressive aerial display of aircraft fly over the playground on its way to central  central London to celebrate 100 years of the Royal Air Force. 

The spectacular event will took place as part of a series of special events throughout 2018 to mark the centenary. 

Featuring up to 100 aircraft, the flypast remembered the RAF's creation on April 1, 1918. Thanks to Year 5 for capturing these stunning photographs of the once in a lifetime event!
