Pyjama Party
Yorkshire Sculpture Park
The children had a great day at the Sculpture Park. We had an artist led workshop and Puy was our artist. The children enjoyed lots of activities linked with nature and the sculptures. They created sketches, collaboratively sketching and making a sculpture using clay and pipe cleaners. The children were encouraged to use their own imagination and ideas, remembering that 'art is a journey not a destination'.
Manor Heath and The Fire Station
The children had a great time spotting butterflies and looking at the different parts in the Jungle Experience. They also spotted lots of terrapins. The plants and terrapins linked well with the learning we have been doing in Science and Understanding the World. After the Jungle Experience the children enjoyed playing in the park and a picnic lunch.
After lunch, we went to Mytholmroyd Fire Station. The firefighters showed the children lots of different equipment they use to help them as well as listening to 3 different sirens at the fire station. The children all went home to ask their parents to check their smoke alarms and to ring the fire station if they needed replacing.
Pyjama party
Visit to Bronte Parsonage Museum, Haworth
Our History topic in Wainsgate has been the Brontes. The children loved learning about the Bronte sisters and why they are significant individuals.
For part of our learning, we had a school trip to the Bronte Parsonage Museum in Haworth. The children learnt lots of facts, including looking and comparing pictures of present day and the past. They also learnt about the differences in schooling/education and the Bronte sisters homelife.
Chris Mould Art Project February 2022
During our art lessons, in Spring 1 term, we looked at local illustrator and author Chris Mould. Chris has illustrated The Boy Called Christmas and Truth Pixie series of books. After looking at some of his artwork we wanted to find out more, so the children thought up a list of questions to ask Chris. He kindly replied with some very detailed answers that are featured in the slide show above.
Using the Truth Pixie 'how to' guide we followed the step by step instructions to create our own Truth Pixie. The children then adapted their picture to show off their own creative skills!
Nativity Play December 2021
Dance Workshop at Wainsgate Chapel
The children in Wainsgate really enjoyed the dance workshop at Wainsgate Chapel. They worked in groups to discuss their ideas and feelings when listening to music, before expressing these ideas and feelings through dance. They also performed dances as a whole class.
