This week in Swans we have been exploring strength. In Science this half term, children have been exploring different materials, identifying materials that items are made from and naming different properties of objects in the classroom. Today we wanted pupils to investigate strength by making paper bridges. In partners pupils had to fold the paper in different ways to try and improve the strength of their bridges. An excellent scientific investigation!

Owls Class started their cooking unit today with peeling and cutting.

Swans have been busy over the last few weeks creating their 'Paper Play' art project based on the ‘Maman’ spider sculpture (1999) by the artist Louise Bourgeois. Mr Robson started the project

and worked with the children to create the structure. The children then worked in small groups to paint and decorate their class sculpture which is now sitting proudly in our classroom. 

Be careful when you are walking through the woods – a big bad wolf may be watching you!

2025 is the year of the Snake!

Over the last two weeks, Swans have been exploring using paper to create different 3D sculptures. They have had to fold, bend, roll and cut the paper to create different shapes to stick to their base. These art pieces have slowly been taken home this week and there will be more to come next week as we get further into the topic.
