Fun in the woods

On Friday, the children had lots of fun exploring the beautiful autumn colours of our woods. 
















Sukkot

The children have been learning about the Jewish festival of Sukkot.  As part of this, the children were interested to learn about the temporary huts that the families build during this celebration.  The children had a go at making their own examples in the woods.  









Wedding Collages

As part of the IPC unit 'Celebrations', the children have been thinking about how weddings have been depicted over time.  
They have looked closely at some examples of work from famous artists and have compared these pictures to photographs that they have brought in from home.  
Having compared these pictures, the children have created some collages to frame these lovely photos.  They have used a range of different materials and have discussed the types of shapes and colours used for confetti to help them with their designs.  
The children have worked hard on these collages and are proud to show off their work.

Many thanks to all of the parents who sent wedding photos in to school - we loved looking at them!
















Another Success for Darcey-Rue!

Darcey-Rue has been a busy little girl over the last few weeks and on Monday night she performed at Darlington Hippodrome for the performance of 'One Night Only'.  She had a fantastic time and loved every moment of the experience.  Here is a picture of her just before she went on to the stage.

Well done Darcey-Rue - we have really enjoyed hearing about your performance.
