Snap Shot of the Week
In PSHE and Science this week we have been learning about the importance of eating healthy foods. In groups, the children were tasked with creating a feast for a healthy giant using items they could find around school to represent different foods! Using their understanding of nutrition and what foods should be included on our plates to help us stay fit and healthy, they created their healthy eating plate, showing how much of each food group should make up our plates.

Year 4 this week have been exploring still life art. We have taken inspiration from a range of artists and looked at their techniques of drawing a range of objects and identifying their shadows. Mrs Luce demonstrated to the class her fantastic art skills of drawing vegetables. The children then picked their fruit or vegetable for their art project and started sketching.

Year 6 have been making artwork of Amazon animals. They used the grid method to enlarge the pictures from A4 to A3. Then they transferred these to cardboard and used collage to add details. Don’t they look amazing?

Year 6 had a very special invite from Colwall Orchard Group to the Wassail last week. Wassailling is an old tradition or waking the trees up from their winter slumber. It was lovely to see some year 6 families enjoying the festivities. We hope this will mean a bountiful year of apples. Waes hael!

WildPlay
WildPlay, Herefordshire Wildlife Trust, programme for under 12 will have been delivering activities for children for 23 years this year, which is amazing. We are currently surveying families to ask how their children play, and what they want from WildPlay so we can target our funding to meet this need. If you could spare 5 minutes to complete this quick survey, we would be very grateful. https://forms.gle/E6V1Z51yT6yyQrwj8
