After School Clubs - Comic Book Club Y3/4/5/6

This week in Comic Book Club, the children were creating advertisement posters for a super hero. They could either use the iPad to search and draw their choice of super hero or they could use their own imagination and create their own. They needed to think about the features of an advertisement poster and how to make it eye catching!

Creative colouring Yr 2/3/4

The levels of creativity were clearly evident this afternoon as Weronika and Martina explained. The children firstly chose part of an intricate pattern to colour taken from a colouring for grown-ups book. Following this they divided their paper into sections and designed their own pattern which they  carefully coloured, making sure to stay within the lines. Miss Estall set the challenge of using  only two colours which Ellie-Mae reflected was the most challenging as "using two colours was difficult because it meant spreading the colours out and making the different shades with them."

After Schools Club: What a job we've got!

Gardening Club, over the last three weeks, have been tackling the huge weed-takeover in the year group beds! What a battle it has been!

But the hard work will all be worthwhile when we start replanting. Well done, team!

After School Clubs -Sewing

The sewing club was a hive of activity this afternoon as the children worked together showing great reciprocity when making bags. Courtney reflected on how she enjoyed sewing the parts together but decided she would use stronger material for the handle next time.

After School Clubs-Cricket 5/6

Dynamic diving was evident in cricket club this week as they used the soft play equipment to practise their catching skills. The fantastic throwing by Miss Cook meant that the children needed to use, not only, great hand-eye coordination but also sharp agility when diving to catch the ball.

After School Club - Cookery


It was all very exciting at cookery club this week as Mr Borrell bought in a wood burning pizza oven!! The children chose and prepared the toppings that they wanted for their individual pizzas and then into the oven they went! The children were impressed by the speed of the oven, one pizza took two minutes to cook and was ready to eat. They even had their own individual pizza box!

After School Club - Art and Design

In Art and Design the children have been looking at the French painter and sculpture Jean Dubuffet. His playful style is fun to imitate and can encourage some very creative portraiture. 
We started by doing a blind drawing of the person sitting opposite us, then sectioned it off and used three colours to draw horizontal and vertical lines within the sections.
