Lower School (KS1)

As part of the children learning about themselves and noticing similarities and differences in each other they painted a self portrait. 
 

They used mirrors to look closely at their faces before drawing then using watercolour paints to create a self portrait. 
 

Our Reception children learned and performed the rhyme Humpty Dumpty to the rest of the class this week.

After a number of lessons our year 1 and 2 children have designed and made their fairground wheels. They practised lots of different skills, reviewed and altered their designs as they went and really enjoyed making them. 
 

The children have been learning about toys in the past and comparing them to toys that they have today. 

The children in Years 1 and 2 are investigating mechanisms in their design and technology lessons. They are learning how a fairground wheel works. 
 

In our first lesson they investigated wheels and axles.
