• Year 1 Topaz Library Visit

  Wed 16 Oct 2019 Cathy Manning

  Topaz class had a lovely morning visiting Cambourne library.  We didn't let the rain stop us spotting lots of local landmarks along the way and made maps in the afternoon to show where we had walked.   At the library, we met Rosemary the librarian who explained all about the different types of books including non-fiction, picture books, chapter books and books in different languages.  We had a lovely time browsing and everyone had the opportunity to join the library and borrow a book.  We even found a familiar friend, The Everywhere Bear, hiding on a shelf!   

   

  Amber class are looking forward to their turn to visit the library in November! 

  

• Stone Age Day at The Vine

  Fri 11 Oct 2019

  Year 3 have been learning about the Stone Age this half term. To accompany their learning, they travelled back in time and became Stone Age children for the day.

  The day began with the pupils foraging berries in the school grounds. This immersed them in their roles as Stone Age children from the moment they stepped into school, allowing them to re-enact being a gatherer.

  The pupils were asked to dress as a Stone Age child for the day. Their attire helped them get into role for their English activity which was to write a diary entry as a Stone Age child.

  Their hard work didn’t stop there! For the remainder of the morning the pupils had the challenging task of cracking Stone Age codes by looking at cave paintings and working out their hidden meaning. The pupils even made their own cryptic codes! In the afternoon, these codes were re-created using mud and powder paint in the style of cave paintings.  

  Finally, to finish the day the pupils gathered together and enjoyed their hard earned Stone Age stew whilst listening to Stone Age tales. Year 3 worked incredibly hard and demonstrated excellent learning through this immersive and exciting day.

  

• Happy Houses

  Thu 10 Oct 2019 Hannah Bennett
  In Year 1 we have been looking at the work of Hundetwasser, an artist who painted houses using lots of bright colours and patterns. These houses are called Happy Houses. We designed then made our own Happy Houses by printing using paints then adding different features. They are so bright and cheerful and make us all feel very happy!
