Events & Learning Gallery

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!)

Children in Larwood have been using knowledge of bridging 100 and 1000 to work out the heights of their classmates using only a meter stick. Some where able to convert their results between cm, m and mm!

In English, Larwood Class have been practising persuasive techniques. Children used tools such as exaggeration and emotive language as they entered the 'Dragon's Den'.

In History, Larwood Class have been learning about the Ancient Greeks. We have practised Athenian democracy, discovered the events of the Battle of Thermopylae, and learned about philosophers such as Aristotle, Plato and Socrates.

Rococo Art

Children dove into an exciting seaside soundscape in music! Using a variety of instruments and their voices, they worked together to bring the seaside to life. Waves rippled and crashed, wind howled, and seagulls cried. Starting with a calm and sunny day, the children gradually built their sounds…
