Exploring landscapes 🏞️

This afternoon, year 3 and 4 started their new art topic ‘Vista’. 

The children made their own viewfinder tool which artist often use to frame a view they wish to sketch. 

We spent the afternoon outside, exploring interesting or unusual perspectives for a landscape we could produce.

Marvellous music making, mystery solving and more!

Hi Leopards, It was great to chat to some of you yesterday and find out what you have been up to. As usual, the lovely leopards have lots to tell me!  Marvellous music making  h as earned Estella the Blue Peter Music badge. Here she is, looking very happy with her achievement. Rightly so, this is well-deserved, Estella .    The Blue Peter Music badge is especially for Blue Peter viewers with a passion for music. I wonder if this Blue Peter badge will inspire more of you to get your recorder/saxophone/violin out to work on your musical skills. It's a really lovely design too. Did you know that with the badge, Estella also received a Blue Peter Badge card to gain FREE access to over 200 Blue Peter Badge Attractions throughout the UK! Keep that card in a safe place Estella.

Wow, what a day at Carsington Water! We enjoyed a day filled with adventure, learning, and hands-on activities in the great outdoors. The day began with an exciting lesson from the ranger, where we learned all about where our water comes from. The children even got to try filtering water themselves—a fascinating and eye-opening activity!  We then explored the bird hut, where we spotted a variety of wildlife and deepened our understanding of nature. We visited the interactive water system exhibit, where the children had fun discovering how water is managed and conserved.  After that, we ventured into the woodlands, where creativity took over as the children used natural materials to create their own stunning pieces of animal art. With the weather on our side, the day wouldn’t have been complete without a visit to the park, where the children had a fantastic time burning off some energy! We had such a brilliant day and I am so proud of how engaged and enthusiastic the child...
