We enjoyed looking at our framed work at the art gallery.

Fieldwork – What leisure facilities can be found in New Romney
We went out into our local area to explore the different leisure facilities available. We also asked for people’s opinions about the facilities available, how they use them for leisure and what they would like to see. Lots of people said that they make good use of the restaurants and cinema but would like more shops and indoor play areas.
DT – Doodler
The children enjoyed exploring how Doodlers work. They explored a variety of factors that impact on how the Doodler functions. This included adapting the counterweight, using pens and / or pencils and changing the height or position of the pens.
We then designed and planned our own. Here are the finished products:
Drama Workshop
Friendship Workshop
The children took part in a friendship workshop on Tuesday. Not only was I impressed by the children’s behaviour, but it also reminded me how incredibly kind and supportive towards one another they are. The children explored how it’s okay to be different, how to work in a team, and how to be a good friend. They also learned some strategies to help them to relax or calm down.
Wellbeing Day
Maple class had great fun teaching each other their skills. The children taught each other gymnastics, dance, football and programming skills. The children also learned how to make an origami frog, demonstrating great perseverance. Some children also learned to play a song on a keyboard and play darts.
Art Week
We have been learning about the Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama – Princess of Polka Dots.
First, we learned about her life and then we explored some of her art. One day Yayoi had a vision in the field. The flowers seemed to have become thousands of dots that continued on forever and Yayoi felt as if she was being ‘obliterated’. This moment has inspired lots of her artwork.
We then applied this style to some of our own ideas.
