Art Day in Year 6
The theme for Art day this year was Art and Geography, celebrating artists from all around the world.
Year 6 had a brilliant Art day, celebrating the work of Katsushika Hokusai, with a particular focus on the Great Wave Off Kanagawa.
We began the day with some map work and researching Japan. We then explored and commented on his work, experimented with hot and cold colours, before creating our own final, chance to shine piece.
Can you spot any Telford landmarks hidden between the waves?
Ladybugs Art Day 🎨🐞
We’ve had an amazing day making the most of art day today!
This morning we did some BIG painting, we had a big long sheet of bright paper with lots of paint, rollers, brushes, and we even used our feet and hands. They children were in our forest school all in one suits and was allowed to get as messy as they liked. They absolutely loved every moment! As you can probably see from the photos and small video below 😂🐞

Code Club session 4
This week the group split into two units. One group created a program with a sprite whose eyes followed the mouse (or even another automated sprite) whilst the other team created surprise animations to shock the viewer. It is amazing to see the children expressing themselves through Coding.
Ariana in Year 5 was Star Coder this week for her incredible “Emergency Code” in which she created a multiple question quiz in just 5 minutes.
Wonderful Water Assembly
This morning, Y5 attended an assembly with Severn Trent Water. We recapped the water cycle and looked into how water is cleaned to make it “potable” in the home. The children also thought about how to stay hydrated and how to spot the early signs of dehydration.
Food waste
Dear Parents/Carers,
We are suffering ongoing issues with a few children who sneakily drop food under the tables at lunchtime.
Very often this food has hardly been touched e.g. whole apples and sandwiches.
Some children are throwing food under the table that has been supplied by home and other times it is food supplied by school.
It is really important to have conversations and better still get children involved in making their own packed lunches so that they have some control over what it is they will eat. Our teams try so hard to ensure that children are eating a good lunch so they have enough energy for their afternoon sessions.
I have asked our catering managers to come into school to see if they can do anything differently in order to prevent school food from being dropped on the floor.
We understand that some children are just so desperate to get outside to play that they rush their lunch. However, during assembly we will again be discussing the need to slow down and eat a good lunch.
Thank you for your ongoing support.

Reception’s first trip to Home Farm at Attingham.
We had such a great day. We were so excited to go on an enormous coach all the way to the farm.
Farmer Ben gave us some special animal food and gave us a guided tour all around the farm. We learnt about the different animals.
We enjoyed our picnic lunch outside and a run round in the park.
We know a few children missed our first trip due to chickenpox or illness. We missed you and wish you well soon. We do have some more lovely things planned in soon that you will get to enjoy.
Fun at the farm
Today we had so much fun at Home Farm at Attingham. We met Farmer Sam and Farmer Ben who taught us all about the animals they take care of. We learnt about the types of food they eat, what the breeds were and all about their farm.
