DT Week – Wheels and Axles
This week we have been building bathing machines for Queen Victoria. We know that bathing machines were on the beach for people to get changed in a long time ago. We have also been learning about wheels, axles, axle holders and chassis. A chassis is the bottom of the vehicle that everything fixes onto. The axle hold the wheels in the right place and the axle holder holds the axle. A wheel is like a circle but 3D and they make the bathing machine go forwards and backwards. We had a really good week!

Here are some photos of all our hard work.
The Queen’s Jubilee Green Canopy
To start our celeberations for The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee we planted 5 trees as part of The Queen’s Green Canopy.
In the rain Pimhill went out to dig the holes.
The sun shone when represenatives from each class came to plant a tree with Kris our Forest School lead and James Reynolds our govenor.
Lara led us in prayer .
In the afternoon Pimhill finished the planting and watered the trees.
Thank you to Albrighton Estate who donated our trees.
Ukraine Day!
Thank you to all the parents, staff and children who supported us for Ukraine Day!
Everyone looked amazing wearing yellow and blue.
We were visited by Marianna and her friend Oksana. We learnt about their charity work and how they are supporting those from Ukraine.
We also learnt a few words in Ukrainian.
Thank you for your donation, we had a great day.

The words they will be focusing on include:
- all
- also
- always
- ball
- call
- fall
- stalk

The children will not be tested on these words, but we will be challenging them to be including them in their writing and looking for application in their work.
Pizza Base Printing!
This half term in art we have been learning about different methods of creating prints. Today we learnt about William Morris and then created our own water inspired print using quarter of a polystyrene pizza base! First we had to draw our design before colouring it in with felt tip pen. Then we sprayed the printing block with water and used it to print! We had to repeat the process 4 times to create a complete circle.
Here are some of our artworks. We are very proud of them!
