2026 - 2027

This week, Year 1 have been learning about the artist Andy Goldsworthy, who creates artwork using natural materials found outdoors. Inspired by his work, the children explored our outdoor environment and collected items such as leaves, sticks, stones and flowers to create their own beautiful pieces of art.

The children showed great creativity and imagination as they arranged their materials into patterns and designs. They worked carefully, developed their observation skills and enjoyed appreciating the beauty of nature. We are incredibly proud of their enthusiasm, teamwork and artistic achievements. Well done, Year 1!

2025 - 2026

Year 1 have made excellent progress in their learning about the Great Fire of London. They particularly enjoyed a hands-on activity where they designed and built houses, recreating the city of London in the playground. The children thoughtfully positioned the buildings close together to reflect how London was structured in 1666, helping them understand how the fire spread so rapidly.

Throughout the activity, the pupils demonstrated a strong sense of empathy as they observed how the buildings were affected by the fire, showing a deepening understanding of the historical event and its impact on people’s lives.
