Year 5 Greek Pot Making
Year Five enjoyed an exciting trip to The Ramsey Academy this week as part of their topic on The Ancient Greeks and ceramics. They learnt new skills and made clay pots that will be fired and then painted at school. The children found making the pots a good challenge but they had great fun making them and they learnt a lot. Thank you to The Ramsey Academy for hosting the sessions.
1st Place Winners!
A huge congratulations to the Year 5/6 Football Team for winning the Level 1 football finals at The Ramsey Academy. The boys played brilliantly as a team and there were also some excellent individual performances. We scored 15 goals and conceded 0 in 3 matches. This means we progress to the Level 2 finals at Witham Football Club on Wednesday 6th November.
Kandinsky Study
Oak Class have been studying the artist Kandinsky. His work feature lots of different shapes, especially circles. The children had to roll strips of paper up using a variety of colours to create their pictures. Next they went onto create pictures using concentric circles, circles within circles. They worked really hard with a partner.
