On Friday, Haughmond went for a visit to the Ironworks in Oswestry to learn all about different sculpture as part of our art topic. We found the extinction trail particularly interesting and enjoyed learning facts about all the animals. We discovered that lots of the sculptures had been made from scrap materials, and tried to identify all the parts we could see. We really liked the enormous gorilla made from car parts and were especially impressed by Hulk and the Transformer sculptures. We are going to use our learning to support and inspire our art work back in school.

What a busy start to the school year!

In Haughmond we’ve got straight into the swing of our learning, launching our topic with a Heroes theme day. We have begun looking at the seasons and weather in Science, carrying out a colour survey of the outside area and making windsocks to learn about wind direction. In English we have begun the book troll swap and worked collaboratively to explore and make predictions about the characters and in R.E. we’ve begun looking at places of Worship and what makes them special. We’ve even met some baby pigeons that Mrs Whittaker rescued and Mrs Gregory is now hand-raising, meaning that we can see how they grow up.

Here are some photos of some of what we have been up to so far!
