Special Events

Art Week October 2024 (Including our visit to Walsall Art gallery)

On Wednesday we had a brilliant trip to Walsall Art gallery.  We spent some time exploring the different forms of art and used this as inspiration for our own art work.  We also had a couple of talks describing the different mediums used to create the art works around us.  After this, we took part in a workshop with an artist who showed us techniques we could use in our sculptures; we then made some portraits out of clay.

On Thursday and Friday, we used some of the ideas we had seen and techniques we had been taught to design, plan and make a relief tile featuring an Anglo-Saxon god / goddess of our choice.  Here are some of our final pieces...

Severn Trent Water workshop 2024

After the whole school assembly, year 5 were able to take part in a very interesting workshop.  The class was split into groups, which each represented a family.  Their task was to measure out the water their family used, to discover which family were water wasters and which ones were savers.  Once we identified this, we discussed what actions different families took to save water.  We had a lot of fun, but at the same time learnt some important lessons on how to save water.

Diwali celebrations November 2024

In year 5, we had a great time celebrating Diwali.  Firstly, we learnt from those who celebrate Diwali - how and why they do.  We then completed different craft activities, such as: designing Rangoli patterns; Mehndi  and making diva lamps. We also dressed in colourful party clothes and traditional dress to celebrate together.

We had great fun designing and making our drawstring bags.  First of all, we had to learn how to use different stitches.  We then designed our bags, including any extra details we wanted to add.  Once we had planned how to make our bag, we were able to make them.  With a lot of concentration and team work we made some very successful bags, some of us even added some extra designs.  We were very pleased with what we had made,..
