SPRING 1 NEWSLETTER WORSBROUGH COMMON PRIMARY

February half term already and what an artistic half term we have had! We welcomed the children back after Christmas to a full school Arts week where the children explored and mastered the skills for painting while finding out about David Hockney and his art work. The art gallery was enjoyed by so many adults, it was wonderful to welcome everyone back into school. This half term the whole school has focused on Design and Technology. The children have absolutely loved being designers and we are seeing some exciting outcomes!

YEAR GROUP ROUND UP

A busy half term in year one, we've been bakers, poets and artists! We have worked so hard we have had lots of rewards!

Look at our finished bread products. We added seeds or raisins to improve the flavour for Little Red Hen. We hope we have helped her to win bake off!

Year 2 have been busy creating posters as part of Safer Internet Day when we learnt about how to keep ourselves safe online.

Year 2 have been designing and creating a Mars Rover Prototype, our sawing skills were excellent. Look out on Twitter for photographs of our final products! We have loved being designers - watch out NASA!

Year 2 used Scratch Junior on the iPads to code a rover in space.

Year 2 loved learning about David Hockney during art week and produced some excellent paintings!

Year 4 have been incredibly busy researching, designing and creating mock-ups of our own pencil cases! We have loved being designers...
