Events & Learning Gallery

Wenzel class enjoyed creating Christingles, each symbolising key elements of the Christian faith. 

Y1 have been exploring the number 5! We have been counting 5, subitising 5, writing the numeral and word, and recognising it in different contexts. 

Wenzel Class are learning about texture in Art this half term. We have made charcoal rubbings of different objects and have described how they feel. 

We have been cooking this week, following a recipe in DT to create a delicious apple crumble!

In Maths, Larwood Class have been learning about estimation. Using our knowledge of place value and order, we have been estimating the position of numbers on a number line - then reasoning with measurement as we applied our knowledge to meters and centimeters.

The theme for this year's anti-bullying week was 'Choose Respect'. Rauf Class spent time discussing what respect looks like,  whether at school, in the community or at home. We also discussed the effects of bullying and how we can all 'Choose Respect'.

Bonfire Night and why it is celebrated. We made our own firework pictures and even built a bonfire in the outside area.

Antony Class have been learning about different celebrations. We explored some of the ways Diwali is celebrated, made diyas using playdough, and worked together to create a rangoli pattern outside our classroom door.

In Autumn 2, children in Larwood Class learned how musical instruments can represent natural sounds. Inspired by mountains, children used percussion instruments to create the sense of a stormy ascent. 

In Larwood Class this week, we have been looking at old maps, reports and aerial photographs to observe how Earith has changed over time. It has been incredible to see how much the village has grown, and nice to link the name of our school houses to the Geography curriculum.

In Art this half-term, we have been looking at how light and shadow can be used to create drama and depth in our artwork. Here, the children have been practising using acrylic paint to layer tones of colour, showing how light hits our still life subjects.

As part of our studies of Jewish traditions, children learned about the festivals of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Children discovered how Jewish people celebrate these holidays, and even sampled some Challah bread (thank you Mrs Watson!)
