Remembrance Art
Mulberry Class have been busy creating some lovely watercolour poppy paintings this week in preparation for Remembrance Day. The children showed real resilience when using new watercolour techniques; there was some fantastic artistic flair on show too. We are so proud of the effort they put into their work and the beautiful results. We hope you enjoy having a look through our gallery!

Celebrating National Poetry Day
Our Year 6 children enjoyed celebrating National Poetry Day with the Hot Poets and special guest Michael Rosen. The theme was ‘Wonder’ and the children joined a live webinar where they were invited to contribute their own ‘Wonder is…’ lines to a shared poem.
We were amazed by the creativity and imagination of their responses! We heard some wonderful ideas, including “Wonder is… chocolate cake,” "Wonder is… the smell of freshly baked biscuits,” “Wonder is… a cobweb on a frosty morning,” and “Wonder is… night turning to day.”
Michael Rosen also delighted us by reading one of his own poems to celebrate the day and we enjoyed hearing poems from Junior Laureates too. It was a fantastic opportunity for our children to be part of a national celebration of poetry and to see their own ideas become part of a shared poem. A wonderful day of words, imagination and, of course, wonder!

Understanding Our Emotions
This week, Mulberry were delighted to welcome Beth from the Mental Health Support Team, who joined us to enrich our PSHCE curriculum with a really engaging session all about understanding our emotions. The children explored different areas of the brain and discovered why we might respond differently to certain situations. They also learnt some helpful strategies for managing their emotions, including creating their very own ‘calm kit’. It was a lovely opportunity for the children to talk, reflect and develop practical tools to help them look after their emotional wellbeing.

Maya Maths, Mysterious Glyphs and More!
We have made an exciting start to our Ancient Maya history topic in Mulberry Class! The children were intrigued to discover how the Maya created a number system using dots (pebbles), bars (sticks) and shells, before putting their knowledge to the test by solving Maya maths problems of their own.
We also explored Maya writing and compared their fascinating system of glyphs with the hieroglyphics used by the Ancient Egyptians. The children thoroughly enjoyed creating their own Maya glyphs and produced some impressive designs.

Traditional Polish Art – Wycinanki
Mulberry Class have been getting creative in preparation for our upcoming Arts Week! We explored the beautiful traditional Polish art of wycinanki, which involves carefully cutting and layering colourful paper to create striking, intricate designs.
The children had great fun experimenting with this fascinating art form and produced some fantastic, eye-catching creations. We were so impressed with their creativity and attention to detail!
