The Year 6 Have had a brilliant end of the year leavers trip! Bucket-loads of popcorn, slushies and sweets with two hours of dinosaurs to finish us off! It was edge of the seat action with plenty of belly laughs!
A huge thank you to Mrs C and Packwood school for providing the minibus!
A big thank you to everyone who supported our violin concert with Mrs Nowotarski this morning. The Year 4 and 5 children put on a super performance with Magnus supporting on the drums!
A huge thank you to Michelle and Holly in the kitchen for putting on a fab Leavers Lunch for the Year 6s!

In order to make our Caribbean cocktails, our children from Owl Class tasted fruit this morning, trying potential combinations of flavours.
Some photos from Owls’ forest school visit on Monday morning where we carried out field studies, as well as having a good explore.
Owls concluded their work with Miss Whit on creating Venetian landscapes in the style of Claude Monet during Arts Week. They learned about the impressionist style, different brush techniques but also how to apply mixed media including oil, chalk and watercolour.
The results were impressive! Children could choose whether to recreate Monet’s Sunset in Venice or use the same landscape with their own choice of time e.g. night, or using inspiration from his work on bridges and lilies.
For our arts week in Owl Class, Mr Arthur’s days have been spent making mosaic tiles and acrylic layered paints.
With our theme of Italy, the mosaics are linked to the Ancient Romans who believed in the Greek Gods and depicted them in their expensive buildings (rich houses, government buildings, bathhouses). The children researched online for a guide and then spent monday and tuesday tiling with glue and then grouting for the finish. They turned out great!
For the acrylic painting, the children understood that it dries quickly and can be used for detail to be added onto a background. We spoke about brush size, colours that mix well and used Italian landscapes as inspiration for our artwork.
Our Owl Class rounders team played excellently today at the corbet. Despite only drawing the first game, we won 2 back to back games, then lost a game to the overall winners in our group stage. We then won our final game after progressing through. We are awaiting final results but I was so impressed by the leadership qualities from some players and the determination to keep going. Our sportsmanship on the whole was great too. Great work Ruyton!
