Stockport-Class 7 & 8, by Mrs Brown

Our visit to Stockport Air Raid Shelters
A fabulous time was had yesterday with Class 7 and 8 at Stockport Air Raid Shelters.
It was everything we imagined and more. Such a creative way to bring the topic of WW2 alive for children and adults alike. We truly experienced what life was like for evacuees and for people living through war time Britain. We spent some time more than 40 foot underground as the threat of dropping bombs from German planes travelled overhead, and we prepared to be billeted (it was all very real and a number of the children were most disappointed to find they were going home to Wales at 3pm rather than going off to the Market Square to meet their new war time families ).
No doubt the children will remember the experiences for a long time to come.
Enjoy the photos, more to be posted soon.

Year 5 and 6 creative exploits with light , by Mrs Brown
Date: 7th Jan 2017 @ 1:36pm
Fun at our fingertips with light
What can you do with light? Year 5 and 6 pupils had lots of fun exploring, with great creativity, the potential of light. They discovered light can make a pair of glasses grow bigger, it can make shadows grow longer, it can be used to create an aviary of birds, show dinosaurs fighting (even though they are extinct!) and make the shadow of a child look monster sized. View our photographs and videos before you see what you can do with light. Remember, we would love to see your ideas too, so if you discover what you can do with light please let us know.

Creative 3D learning log activities, by Mrs Brown
Date: 13th Nov 2016 @ 8:56pm
3D Models and creative activities completed as part of learning log homework.
Wow! The staff and pupils, along with parents who joined us for our International afternoon at Westwood have been amazed at the 3D models created in response to learning log homework.
This follows the brilliant 3D models made by the current Year 6's when they were inspired by Victorian homes and traditions.
Take a look and see what you think! For those of you who have never created 3D homework, perhaps you could have a go too - I'm sure there are lots of hidden artists amongst you. Look for something that inspires you and then get to work...don't forget to bring in what you make and share your efforts.

Levi Tavari Poetry Workshop for Year 5, by Mrs Williams
Date: 25th Apr 2016 @ 9:06pm
Our Year 5's were inspired and excited to begin their poetry unit after meeting Levi Tavari at the Elfed last week. He shared a poetry masterclass with the children, who responded brilliantly with their own poems and raps.
Please look out for the children in the Junior Department, who are studying poetry as their new genre this term.
