Weekly Update 29.6.23
Posted: Jun 29, 2023 by: Miss Bairstow (d.bairstow) on: Ash Tree Class Blog
Hi,
We have had another really busy week in 5/6!
All the children in Year 6 have been busy completing Bikeability as they learn how to cycle safely. When they haven't been out cycling they have been rehearsing for the leavers' production and sound to be doing a great job!
Some Year 5 children visited the ALPT art exhibition on Wednesday morning with Mrs Millen. They had a go at some art activities organised by the secondary schools and had chance to browse the exhibition. They enjoyed their trip out and represented the school well.
Also representing the school this week was half of Y5 book club. They attended an event at Horsforth library on Wednesday afternoon which was run by the Leeds Book Awards team. The books we are reading this time are taken from the LBA shortlist and so far we are really enjoying them! The children were "LBA detectives" and had to work with children from other schools to complete a range of activities linked to the three books.
Finally, we would love to share with you some of the fantastic artwork we did this week. We have been completing artwork linked to birds this term and this week we printed feathers. We used our observational drawings of feathers from our previous lesson to design a feather on a polystyrene tile and then applied printing ink to create beautiful feather prints. We practised in our sketchbooks and chose to mix our inks in different shades of blue to create a collaborative kingfisher piece of art.
Have a lovely weekend!
Miss Bairstow :)
