In Art this half term we are focusing on concentric circles and spirals. We have drawn them in different media and last week the children created them in playdough This week we have used salt dough (pictures to come once they are dry). This is all building up towards a large scale collaborative piece of work using pebbles and sand.
This lovely piece of art work was inspired by the artist Kandinsky!
The children have enjoyed making Soda Bread – it smelt delicious!
The children had a great time on this week’s Welly Walk. We were thinking about what Poundbury is like and how some of the buildings are similar to famous London Landmarks! We also popped into the Garden Centre to add our handprints to a big tree that will be on display there.
Due to the recent weather warning for today (high winds and heavy rain) we will be postponing our trip to the Sealife Centre. Please pass this on to members of Grayling 1 class who may not see this important update.
We know this will be disappointing for the children-we will have some Easter fun in the classroom, instead!

Please check inside your child’s book bag for their tally sheet! There are some brilliant prizes to be won for the top three classes!
From Monday, Morning 11th to Sunday Evening 17th March we would like you to count your plastic that you throw away or recycle. This is part of a National Campaign that Greenpeace and Everyday plastics are running. The results will be part of a report that will go to the government to help reduce the amount of plastic that is being used. For example fruit and vegetables in plastic bags.
In 2022, nearly 250,000 people from schools, households and communities across the country made The Big Plastic Count the biggest ever investigation into UK household plastic waste. It showed that nearly 100 billion pieces of plastic are thrown away in the UK each year, with hardly any of it recycled.
The rest is burned, sent abroad or ends up in landfill. We can’t recycle our way out of the plastic waste crisis.
Use the tally sheet to help you keep count of your plastic throughout the week. Put it near your bin or on your fridge door.
Then record your resuslts by using our own link that will help us calculate our class plastic footprint. Results need to be recorded by 31st March
