This week has been ‘Arts Week’ this year our theme was commonwealth countries. We chose the Caribbean island of St Kitts. We did also include some Egyptian topic of the Eye of Horus.
The children have drawn flags and combined with a collage.
The children then drew and made traditional Caribbean festival masks.

On Friday 27th May we joined with a whole school Jubilee picnic to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s 70 years on the throne. Ro and Claire provided us with a packed lunch and some delicious red, white and blue cakes! We all had a really lovely day and are looking forward to continuing all our learning about Queen Elizabeth’s reign next half term.
On Friday we used our designs to make our coleslaws ready for our Jubilee picnic. We had thought carefully about our design brief and had designed coleslaws that we felt were fit for a Queen, ‘Royal colours’ and crunchy.
We have had great fun today making our Jubilee coleslaws (pictures will be on our Haughmond News page). Most of us have managed to save some to bring home for our families to taste too!
For homework, I would like you to taste test your coleslaw with your family. I would like you to find out and record what other people thought about the appearance, texture, taste and smell of your coleslaw. Record what they said and bring it to school after half term so you can use their comments in your evaluation.
Also, please take a photo of yourself (and others) eating your coleslaw and e-mail it to the school office or Mrs Gregory so that they can be added to your DT books.
In Haughmond this week we have been learning the National Anthem with Makaton signs. The children have said they would like to be able to keep practising and share this, and the decades dance we have joined in with, with you at home. The links for both videos are below.
Today we started our Jubilee DT project to create a coleslaw fit for a Queen and that we can share with others at our Jubilee Picnic at the end of the week.
We began our topic by exploring existing products and evaluating them in terms of smell, appearance, texture and taste. We all really enjoyed the tasting activity, but our responses to the flavours were mixed!
This term the children have been designing their own pyramids in their books and using Computer aided design.
Next week, they will be making their designs. They have each chosen what they want to make it out of. So, they will be asking you for some items.
If anyone has any spare cardboard could they please bring into class before Friday.
Kind regards
Mrs Roberts
Please remember that reading is one of the most important skills our children will learn. It is vital that children get time and space to practice their reading with an adult at home regularly. Pupils learning to decode should read with an adult every day and those pupils who can read fluently should continue to read at home every day (and should still read with adults!) Our older children have access to Fiction Express, and can select age-appropriate e-texts to read online.
Please ensure your child’s reading is logged in their Reading Record, which should be brought home each night and returned to school each morning.
If you have any questions about reading, please speak with your child’s teacher!
