Latest Learning 2026-2027!

 

11.09.26 - Welcome Back to School!

Our Orange Base children have settled in wonderfully! We have been working hard to learn a brand new routine as well as all of our new teachers' names. 

We recapped our learning cogs, lots of these we've put into practice this week! 

We've created self portraits using water colours as a part of our whole school belonging project and even started some writing with our Kinetic Letters pencils. We have had a fantastic week and are looking forward to the year ahead. 

 

 

Latest Learning 2025-2026

19.06.26 - Art!

We have started a new topic this half term all around Esther Mahlangu. We have explored her style of art work and we have used this when using clay to create a hat for Paddington, taking inspiration from her use of patterns to decorate the hats. Before we used clay we explored different shapes and colours using oil pastels. To finish off the topic we will be evaluating our work and discussing the differences between our inspiration and Esther's work. 

 

12.06.26 - RE!

In RE this half term we have been looking at why some books are special to us. There are lots of different books that people believe are special to them such as the Quran, the Torah and the Bible. We are exploring these reasons and learning the importance of respecting other people's beliefs.

22.05.26 - English!

Orange base  have been following their very own instructions on how to make a marmalade sandwich. We read instruction step by step and all took it in turns, we worked out that we needed to cut our sandwich into quarters or even into 5 pieces so everyone was able to have a piece. Lots of maths and literacy learning all in one!
