We have been learning all about the upcoming general election, in both assemblies and in class. We discussed what a general election was and why it is important. We decided to have our very own election, in our coloured teams. Each team has proposed an idea for a treat on Monday. The team captains worked hard to create posters and stood in front of everyone in assembly to propose their team’s ideas. We had some amazing speeches that were very persuasive. On Thursday, each child will vote for the team they would like to win and the winning team will choose our treat! We are looking forward to seeing who the winning team are.

Our winners of the election are…. Red Team!!! Red teams choice of treat was a movie afternoon, which we will all enjoy on Monday!

Today the children had a fantastic day, taking part in an art workshop with Kate Mason. Kate is a local artist who inspired lots of the children with her incredible story. The children had the opportunity to each create a powertex tile which all looked fantastic. The children learnt lots of new skills as well as learning more about art as a career. This was a brilliant opportunity for all of the children and they all had lots of fun!

This half term we have been focusing on Kandinsky and the amount of artwork the children have produced has been amazing! Our artist of the half term goes to Rosie, who produced a fabulous piece of scratch art! Well done Rosie!
