Year 5 were lucky to have artists from the Thelma Hulbert Gallery come and deliver an interesting music and art workshop based upon a current exhibition at the gallery.  They were looking at and considering how weather could be emotive and support creativity.

After listening to music, the children created rainmakers using willow and chickpeas and then as an ensemble they created a soundscape - it sounded wonderful!

They then got to create a piece of their own artwork based upon the 4 elements.

This week, Year 6 have been learning all about DNA. After researching this scientific phenomenon, we then had a go at extracting DNA from strawberries. To do this, we had to collaborate effectively and follow our instructions extremely carefully. We were amazed when we saw the layer of DNA separating from the solution; some of us even managed to extract some samples! 

This week, we say congratulations to...
