Weekly Update - 01.04.21

After an activity packed final week we have made it to the Easter Holidays!
I am so impressed with the learning attitudes over the last 4 weeks. All our pupils have been eager to learn and shown excellent enthusiasm for our topic since half term.
This week we have had the opportunity to sing, dance and play percussion instruments through a variety of challenges in the 'Little Sing' event on Monday and Tuesday. The children enjoyed experimenting with some very different instruments and I definitely think we have some future musicians in Lime Tree Class!
We also made some lovely Easter cards in lessons this week. It was great to see so many unique ideas for cards, and the children working independently to make them.
After a strange half term, I think all pupils have earned this break over Easter. I hope the weather is kind and you manage to get outdoors over the next couple of weeks! I am looking forward to hitting the ground running when we come back with our exciting new topic 'Message in a bottle'.
If you would like some activities to do over Easter it might be nice to get involved with the Art Exhibition we have signed up to as a school. The details are below:
At Rufford Park we have signed up to a very exciting online art exhibition this year called the Young Artists’ Summer Show which is run by the Royal Academy of Arts. We would like as many of you as possible to get involved and submit your work!
The Young Artists' Summer Show love seeing your personality, imagination, thoughts and feelings shine through your artwork. They believe art is about expressing yourself in a way that comes naturally to you. There are no rules, your submission can be created using any art materials you like. You could paint, sketch or even sculpt!
If you're thinking about creating something for the exhibition but aren't sure how to get started, why not set aside some time this half-term to get your creative juices flowing? All great art starts somewhere! For more information about the exhibition and ideas about how to get started please visit https://www.ruffordparkprimary.org.uk/information/curriculum/art-dt/royal-academy-of-arts-young-artists-summer-show.
Submissions are open until 26 April 2021.
Enjoy the break and Happy Easter!
