Self-Portraits

21/11/2025

0 Comments

 
​This week, the children learned how to create their own self-portraits using powder paint. They explored the features of their faces by looking closely in mirrors and learned how to mix colours to create different skin tones and details. The children also developed important vocabulary such as “portrait,” “features,” and “shade,” and practised using paintbrushes with control. The children used their creativity, fine-motor skills, confidence, and understanding of what makes each of us unique.

Remembrance Day

14/11/2025

This week, the children learned about Remembrance Day. We talked about how it is a special time to say thank you to people who have helped to keep us safe, both in the past and today. The children learned that the poppy is a symbol of remembrance and made their own poppy crafts to help them think about kindness, bravery, and peace. We also spent a quiet moment reflecting on all the people who help and care for others in our community.

Bonfire Night

5/11/2025

The children have enjoyed exploring the traditions and history of Bonfire Night. We have talked about how to keep ourselves safe when we enjoy playing with sparklers and watch fireworks.  Ask your child if they can tell you the beginning of the rhyme.
The children also had a wonderful adventure in the Wild Wood! They spent time exploring, being creative, and enjoying the outdoors. The children made nature sparklers using twigs, leaves, and other natural treasures. They also had lots of fun in the mud kitchen and they created fantastic firework pictures.
