This week in Beech class, we learned all about famous inventors from history. We learned about Leonardo da Vinci and the many inventions he was able to design. We also researched about some of the inventors who aided in the discovery of electricity and the creation of the light bulb, such as Thomas Edison and local inventor Joseph Swan. Did you know the first house in the world to be lit by a light bulb was Swan’s house in Gateshead?
This week B14 have been learning all about the famous photographer Edward Weston and his amazing photographic art. The children have been all round school taking inspirational photographs from what they see and eat (healthy snacks), so the adults around them can see how they view the world. They have taken some fantastic shots and we can’t wait to put them together in their portfolio. But here is a sneaky peek!

We are busy creating some lovely new reading areas around school. These will be spaces for children to come along too and develop their reading skills and more importantly discover the enjoyment books can bring.

This week in B10, we learned about famous people in the world of religion. We asked ourselves ‘what really is a religion?’ and compared and contrasted the world’s main religions.
We also took time to discuss the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, looking closer at her role and duties as monarch of the United Kingdom. We researched about how different the world has become during her long reign. We also baked some cheese scones and chocolate brownies to enjoy as a treat.

They explored a range of different mediums and techniques.
