RE
Our RE learning this term gives us the opportunity to look at many forms of art; 'How can artists help us to understand what Christians believe and do?
As part of this learning we looked at the use of the Cross in art to find out what they tell us. We took ourselves to the Wildlife Area to create our own cross images. The children then wrote about what they were trying to demonstrate in their pictures:
'My cross symbolised Jesus being on the cross and his disciples worshipping him and him taking in people's sin if they made the wrong choice.' Georgia
'This cross represents the cross Jesus died on. The green leaves represents the arms. Above the green leaves lay a yellow leaf that represents his head. The log below the arms represents the legs. The leaves around it are decorations.' Markus
'The green around the cross symbolises Jesus power. The cross symbolises Jesus' death and the leaves are the people looking up at him'. Mike
Art
During our Art lessons in the Autumn term, we focussed on sculptures. We studied work by a range of sculptors, such as Andy Goldsworthy, Barbara Hepworth and R9ichard Long. Like many of these artists, we decided to create our sculptures using natural materials and sometimes unusual classroom objects. We loved creating collaborative 'Stacks,' abstract clay sculptures and symmetrical mandala patterns.

The children in Year 3 love to talk about the texts that they have found in the book corners. In these pictures you can see the enthusiasm they have in describing their reasons why others might enjoy the texts!
Spanish
Why not spend the time to carry on learning and consolidating all the Spanish you have learnt this year. You could also teach your family some spanish words :) Hola! Buenos Dias! Como Estas? Muy Bien! Adios!
In the event of school closure
On rare occasions, it may be necessary to close the school. This may be due to adverse weather conditions or perhaps when essential school services cannot be provided –e.g. heating, plumbing or water.
Please refer to the School’s Bad Weather Policy on our website for information regarding how we communicate a school closure.
Class teachers will then initiate home school learning activities, and these will be available to children by 10am of the same morning.
