What Year 5 have been up to...
Friday 20th January
In Art this half term we are focusing on painting. We have been looking at a local artist, Caz Scott. Over the next few weeks we are going to create our own interpretation of Caz's artwork using tools and mediums to add texture. We are going to be lucky enough to meet her at the end of the half term as she is going to visit us!
Friday 6th December
Our Science topic this half term is space. This week we had a visit from Wonderdome, a mobile planetarium, in our school hall.
