Art in Nature

Year 2 Foxes were extremely lucky to have the support from Mr Whiting this afternoon for their Art lesson. The children learnt about the artist Andy Goldsworthy and has a go at interpreting some of his natural art work outside in the woodlands. Fantastic work Foxes.

Year 1 Dolphin class have been making “autumn slime”! We used a base of soap, and added different ingredients we could find in the school woodland. We picked up, grabbed or dug up different things, added them or dropped them into our cups, and mixed or stirred them all together to make an exciting seasonal slime! Why did we do this? So that we can make an exciting set of instructions to tell the children in other schools how to enjoy safe outdoor activities in the autumn!

Wolves class enjoyed taking part in a historical re- enactment of the invasion of Lindisfarne – what a brutal attack it was!

Congratulations to our Summer Readers who kept on reading throughout the holidays. A big well done to the other pupils who entered the competition. As you can see our winners were both shocked and pleased to be given their hampers as well as a fantastic new book to continue their reading journeys with.

Year 4 Sharks class are studying Beowulf this half term. They have used their drama skills in the role of the characters to imagine what it was like. Super acting skills and a great hot seating session too. Well done Sharks!

The children in Rabbits class have had a lovely time exploring in the woods this afternoon! As well as helping us keep cool from the sun, The children created a bracelet of all the different things that they found in the woods!

We finished off our lovely afternoon with a story in the woods!

Dear Parents / Carers,

As we begin the process of closing for the summer, we’d like to wish all of our parents and our pupils a fantastic summer. We’d like to thank many of our pupils for coming in and we hope you all take the time to have a well deserved break. Recently, we released a letter detailing the measures we are putting in place for September but, as always, we would encourage everyone to keep an eye on Weduc for further updates.

We look forward to seeing you all back in September and wish you all the best! Our first day of term will be Thursday 3rd September 2020.

Thank you,

Miss Gray

Dear Parents / Carers,

Last week, we were pleased to have broadcast the work we’ve done on Endeavour radio. It was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the return of so many year groups and the great times pupils have had being back at Park Academy.

If you missed the broadcast, don’t worry as we’ve included a clip from the show below for you to listen to.

In guided reading this week, the Year 1 bubbles have been reading ‘After the Fall’ a book about what happens to Humpty Dumpty after he falls from the wall. Today we have been making our very own Humpty Dumpty and his wall to help us sequence the story.

Y1 Ash Trees bubble have produced some amazing artwork this afternoon. First we went out into the wooded area to collect leaves. Then we used wax crayons to make rubbings of our leaves to fill our paper.
