Today, we have begun to find out more about the Great Fire of London, and we have used the website below to help us. The website also includes a game that the children can play to find out more about the fire.

Homework – 6.9.19
Homework—6th September 2019
This week there are two homework tasks for you to complete, along with practising your spellings and reading to a grown up.
- Next week we are holding the elections for our new student councils. Think carefully and write a letter to me explaining why you should be chosen to represent your Year Group for your choice of council. The choices of council are:
- Worship
- Teaching and Learning
- Eco-council
- Fun and Games
- Health and Safety
- In Science we are learning about humans. Next week please bring in a copy of a photograph of either yourself or someone in your house when they were a baby. Please make sure the back of your photograph is labelled with your name so that I don’t have to guess who it is!

Arts Week Continued!
Our last piece of work for Arts Week was to make a cup out of clay and then decorate it. Our decorations are inspired by the Bizarre pattern created by Clarice Cliff.
Clarice Cliff
The second artist we have looked at in Arts Week is Clarice Cliff. We have looked at the way she used pattern and colour in her ceramics. We designed our own Clarice Cliff inspired plate and used acrylic paint to transfer our design onto a real plate.
Arts Week – Mondrian
This week is Arts Week and in Haughmond we are learning about the 1930’s. We have found out about the artist Piet Mondrian who produced some of his works in this decade and then created our own Mondrian inspired pieces of art. We thought about how just using the primary colours could be used to show different things and Max and Ciaran decided to just use blue and yellow so that their pieces represented Shrewsbury Town!
Masai Necklaces
In our Geography lessons we have been learning about Africa, so in Art we made Masai necklaces.
Ducklings!
As part of our Science, where we have been learning about classification and how animals grow, Mrs Gregory brought in some rescue ducklings for us to see and hold.
