Our whole school ‘write and draw a story’ task is a great way for us to get creative and there have been lots of fantastic submissions, both written and illustrations, from lots of pupils who are eager to continue the story.

A huge well done to all those who are taking part and remember, it’s never too late to get involved!

Bex has sent us on another message and included the developments of the story for this week:

Hurray! HAPPY BACK AT SCHOOL EVERYONE!!

️I am delighted for you all to be back at school again and wish you a wonderful first week back all together – it is lucky that there’s a break on Wednesday to give everyone a chance to settle back in after such a long time away – even having to get up so early!

AGAIN what absolutely fabulous artworks and imaginative ideas. I cannot tell you how much I am loving receiving your ideas at end of each week. It is literally a present in my email box. Thank you.
I have added to the story and now have a new question for you to ponder…

All the best, Bex.

Check out the updated story:

This week we are responding to the question ‘What happens next’?

Remember you are the authors and we can’t wait to hear your ideas!

Our write and draw a story creativity task has had a great response from students so far and we loved seeing all the different ideas you came up with last week in response to the question ‘Why was the rabbit there?’

Bex has sent on a message to everyone and has added some of your own ideas to the story! A huge well done to all and keep up the super work as your idea and illustration may be included in the next piece.

Good Morning Everyone!

WOW! What amazing ideas and beautiful pictures!! It was so wonderful to receive all your creative works. THANK YOU.

It is very important that you know, it was practically impossible to choose one way for the story to go as ALL of them would have made incredible stories.

Also I really struggled to choose the artwork to be included as I would have loved to include them all. 

I have tried to weave in a few of the wonderful ideas to our story so far and we now have our Alien Rabbit who has landed in St Peters playground…

I can’t wait to hear all your imaginative ideas for the next questions.

In the meantime, those still at home I hope you feel positive knowing that this is the last week, and those back at school, I hope you are enjoying being back with your friends and teachers again.

All the best and stay safe

Bex 

The story is getting very interesting. Have a look here at what the update includes:

There’s 3 questions for everyone to respond to with writing and illustrations this week and we’re excited to see what happens next!

The questions are:

1. What do rabbits from Mars eat?
2. If rabbits on Mars don’t hop, how do they get about?
3. How does our alien rabbit feel about being on Earth

Remember to be as creative as possible and use your imaginations, enjoy!

Welcome to the last of our series with Paddy! Today, with the good weather, he’s moving back outdoors again!

Hello everyone Well done for all the fantastic art work you have been doing over the past few weeks. We are so impressed with how creative you all are.

For your art challenge this week you can design and create a robot using any materials that you have at home. You could use items that you no longer need or use anymore. You could use items that you were going to throw away in the bin. You could borrow an item just while you are making your robot and then return it after. Be as creative as you can!

Have a look at some of these examples of recycled robots to give you some inspiration for your project.

Send in any pictures of your robots to your teacher on Class Dojo or to the school WhatsApp. We can wait to see what you come up with

Take a look at the video below that Bex has sent to us and get involved by answering the question and submitting your illustrations via Class Dojo or here on the school blog.

We can’t wait to hear what creative and imaginative story lines you come up with and hope that all classes get involved!

Well done to everyone for sending in such lovely pictures for their art challenge this week! Have a look at some of the creations by this very talented bunch

Well done everyone for your great work

Hi everyone! Well done on all your hard work doing STEM activities so far. This week we are looking at density. Density is a word we use to describe how much space an object or substance takes up (its volume) in relation to the amount of matter in that object or substance (its mass). Another way to put it is that density is the amount of mass per unit of volume. If an object is heavy and compact, it has a high density. This video will show you how it works! Try it out at home too see if you get the same results. Feel free to experiment with different liquids, good luck!

Pancake Tuesday is one of our favourite days in the school calendar so we’ve marked the occasion with a very special video from Paddy!

Here are some of the beautiful Valentine’s Day cards that we made at home…

Here’s a beautiful picture that Mya made of her brand new baby cousin who she loves very much!
