Forest School

This week, Year 4 had their first forest school session focusing on our new topic in Art ‘painting’. The children were introduced to the artist Lucy Arnold and her artwork based on nature. Their task was to explore the forest area and find facts about Lucy which they recorded in their sketchbooks.

Hook into a Book

This week a giant peach appeared in our classroom! We have been predicting where it came from, and why it is so huge. We watched an intriguing video introducing us to James and his despicable aunts. We gathered our ideas together and came to the conclusion we are going to be reading James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl.

Forest School and PE reminder

Just a reminder that each Thursday this half term, your child will need to come to school in their indoor PE kit but with appropriate outdoor clothing for forest school. The ground is currently still very wet so wellies and waterproofs would be ideal.

World Book Day

On Monday, Apley Wood celebrated World Book Day in school. The children came dressed as a book character or author, and they brought a book to share with them.

We had a fantastic morning listening to local author Sarah Griffiths’ new book ‘Tom’s Gift’. In the afternoon, we had a lovely dear time session, sharing our stories with children in Reception and Year 1.

Look at the fantastic outfits Base 11 came in!

Design and Technology- Potatoes

This week Year 4 have been introduced with their new DT topic… potatoes.

The children discussed their prior knowledge about how potatoes are grown and what they are used for. Over the next couple of weeks, the children will be exploring potato recipes and having a go at cooking some cheesy mash and potato chips. Yum!
