This week in Year 1's topic lessons, the children explored the magical beauty of the Northern Lights. The sessions focused on developing their creativity and honing their art skills through the use of different chalk techniques.

The children learned how to blend colours to recreate the bright shades, using sweeping motions and layering to capture the movement and light of the natural phenomenon. They worked with great care and enthusiasm, experimenting with smudging and shading to bring their visions to life on black paper, which provided the perfect backdrop for their stunning creations.

In addition to creating their Northern Lights pictures, the children also practised their drawing skills by creating polar bears to accompany their chalk artwork. Guided by simple shapes and step-by-step instructions, they carefully drew and added features to their polar bears, emphasising detail and proportion. This activity tied beautifully into our first theme of this term which we will be looking at for the next few weeks. By the end of the week, each child had completed a vibrant and unique Northern Lights picture, complemented by their charming polar bear illustrations - a perfect celebration of creativity and imagination.

Before the holiday break, we had the privilege of hosting a memorable awards ceremony to celebrate the outstanding achievements of our students in sporty After-School Activities (ASAs). This special event allowed us to recognise the dedication, effort, and talent demonstrated by our students throughout the term.
Today, our students had the wonderful opportunity to take part in two live broadcasts with CNN and on the important topic of Climate Change.
