We would like to say a huge thank you to Rory’s dad, Daniel, who kindly gave up his time last week to teach us some tag rugby skills.

The children learned how to pass the ball correctly, how to catch tags, and how to score points. Everyone had a fantastic time being outside, learning new…

Nursery have been getting creative by gluing and sticking to make collage pictures and printing with paint and corks. We have lots of creative children, who are always very proud of their artwork. 
 

Our Nursery children have enjoyed learning outside in September. From building towers, to mark making with chalk and jumping in puddles. Lots of opportunities to explore in different weather. 
 

Year 3 have been practicing their painting techniques and learning about how Vincent Van Gogh used impasto paint, line and blue shades to create “A Starry Night”.

They used flour to thicken their paint and then painted in the style of Van Gogh.

Year 3 were spotting human and physical features on the huge OS maps. They looked at the key to learn many new map symbols. They found lots of local areas and pointed to them using co-ordinates.

Year 6 had a wonderful afternoon investigating and observing the historic site of Egremont Castle and noticing exactly why it was such a perfect position for a fort and castle. 

Year 6 had a lovely morning learning at Florence Mine learning about the mining industry , how it has been a huge part of the development of Egremont and inspiration to local artists.

Year 2 have been studying the artwork of Beth Krommes in their art lessons. They have been looking carefully at how she uses a range of marks to create images from nature including waves. They thoroughly enjoyed using paint and oil pastels to create their worn version of the artwork…
