Fantastic art work

The children in Years 5 and 6 have been using their observational drawing skills to produce some beautiful pieces of art work.


Geography Field Trip

Local Area Field Study

This week the Children from Years 5&6 went on a field trip to study the area known locally as The Triangle. We were looking at the impact of humans in our local area as this area is potentially going to be developed for housing. The children were considering all aspects of the proposed development and how this might impact the village of Wall Heath and surrounding communities.

5CS clap and stomp dancing

We have been creating our own dance routines using clap and stomp phrases.

Our first week in 5/6M

What a positive start to our new school year! Our work has been inspired by the book, ‘The Dot’, which is a story about aspiring higher, perseverance and resilience.  We have written poetry, created patterns in Maths with polygons in Year 6 (using dotted paper of course), used dots to represent co-ordinates in Year 5, explored the work of Kandinsky in Art and looked at growth mindset ready to start the year.
 

French Breakfast

This morning, our children enjoyed a wonderful French breakfast with Madame Howarth, followed by a quiz about French culture and a lesson on Bastille Day.

Go For Gold

Year 5 and 6 put on a fantastic performance earlier this week of Go Fo Gold. They entertained the audiences with their amazing singing, dancing, acting and rapping

Another busy week in Years 5 & 6

Gymnastics with Josh

Continuing our art project – A Regatta on the Grand Canal in different styles of art.

Some of our Year 6s have been painting scenery and making props for our forthcoming production – can you guess what it’s about?


All this and ……we’ve even managed to harvest some vegetables!

Year 6 Forest School

Today was an action-packed Forest School session with our brilliant year 6’s, and what a day it was!

Den building was top of the list – and let’s just say, they really got into their knots…it took me a while to untangle everything at the end, but totally worth it for the creativity and teamwork on show!

The fire pit was glowing as the children helped light the fires and cooked up delicious pizza and s’mores – definitely a highlight!

We played an energetic game of shoe bingo, made colourful God’s eyes, and got delightfully messy in the mud kitchen and mud pit.

It was a day full of adventure, laughter, and muddy memories – just how Forest School should be!

This was the last session at COA, and Fiona has thanked us for being such a fantastic school to work with.

Fiona will be back working with us next year!
