Year 6 have started an artist’s study unit. Having looked at the work of David Hockney and Paula Rego, we explored the work of Fiona Rae creating our own abstract pieces of art.

Year 2 enhanced their classroom learning by taking part in African Workshops this week. The children thoroughly enjoyed making beads, printing, playing drums and dancing.
Thank you to everyone who entered our Book Fair drawing competition, we loved seeing your pictures. The winners are Sophie, Dylan, Ariella, Liliya and Ben – well done!
The children have enjoyed the September festivities. They have been singing Christmas music to get into the spirit of making snowman Christmas cards.
Making the most of the sunny week, we have undertaken one of our ’21 Things before we leave Hatch Ride’; making natural mandalas!
We were lucky to receive a grant from the Wellington College Arts Fund to pay for our KS2 recorder lessons this term! This allows 120 children to experience the joy of learning a musical instrument every week.
All the children contributed to our display for the Crowthorne Flower Festival. A special thank you goes to Mrs Mallett for putting it all together.
This week, Year 4 have been practicing using tints and shades to create a 3D pot. Their pots had to start in the shape of a number and then develop into their chosen shapes. Many of the children used the artist Magdalene Odundo for inspiration.
