This week, our Year Four children have spent a day in our woodland area, appreciating nature, learning how to care for the environment and discovering what lives in our school grounds, as well as developing their resilience, collaborative and risk taking skills.

We discussed the Tyrone of features that might be included on a map and they included houses, trees and the path way.
This week, we’ve been working with the artistic medium of acrylic paints as we worked in the style of Chesley Bonestell. The children used the colour wheel to expand their colour palette during their design. We saw some wonderful designs inspired by our solar system.
