Today we recreated Winter Landscape by Wassily Kandinsky ❄️🎨
Pupils explored colour, shape and atmosphere while using a variety of media to bring their own versions to life — paint, pastels and pen. The results were vibrant, creative and beautifully wintery! ⛄✨

We’ve been diving into Scratch coding this week 💻✨
Pupils learned how to add sprites and backdrops, create flying, gliding and talking animations, and then used these new skills to start coding their own games! 🎮
Brilliant creativity, problem-solving and digital confidence! 🚀

Today we learned about the Ndebele people of South Africa 🇿🇦✨
We explored their way of life and the beautiful tradition of painting houses with bold geometric patterns and bright colours. Pupils then had a go at creating their own vibrant designs! 🎨

In our plenary today, pupils took part in a gallery walk to showcase their posters on different African countries 🌍✨
They noted key info from others, for use in their information reports later this week. Amazing research, sharing and learning from one another! 📚📝

Pupils used the MTV thinking routine 3–2–1 Bridge to discuss ‘A Day’s Meal’ by African artist Elisha Ongere. Afterward, they created their own versions using tints and tones of a single colour with pencil, black pen, and chalk. Blending art and reflection! 🖤 #ArtEd #ThinkingRoutines #Africa

We used Reflective Reading today to develop our comprehension skills 📚💡
Working in reading trios, pupils had to spot the silly words in a passage and suggest sensible alternatives — great teamwork, discussion, and language thinking on display! 🗣️✅

We explored food chains and food webs as part of our Africa topic 🌍🦁 Pupils used key vocabulary-producer, consumer, predator, and prey-to build and explain food chains from the rainforest and the savannah. Fantastic science and super teamwork! 🌱➡️🐜➡️🦓➡️🐆

We used Plickers today as a plenary tool in numeracy to check understanding and assess learning in real time! 🔢📊 A quick, no-device-needed way for pupils to show their thinking — and for me to see instantly who’s secure and who needs support. ✔️

We sorted African animals into the biomes they belong to today — then explored the amazing adaptations they’ve developed to survive in such extreme weather conditions 🌍🦁🌵❄️
From heat-tolerance to camouflage to water storage — nature is incredible! 💡

We compared the climate of the UK with the Sahara Desert today 🌍☀️🌧️
Using graphs, pupils analysed the huge differences in temperature and rainfall — and used this data to help explain why these places look and feel so different. 📊💡🌵 #IDL #Geography #Africa #DataHandling
