Welcome to Badgers Class!
We are a Year 5 and 6 class. Mrs Shepherd is our class teacher and our teaching assistants are Mrs Lovesey and Mrs Issitt.
Our topic for this term is “Gallery Rebels” which is all about artists and their styles of art.
Update to Virtual Tree Dressing 14 December
Unfortunately our entry to the Tree Dressing competition did not win a prize. However we have been awarded a tree to plant. As the school has been developing a new wooded area, we will be planting our tree alongside the other saplings in the New Year. Many thanks to the Spinney Team for their generous donation.
Virtual Tree Dressing 30 November
Our class has entered the Virtual Tree Dressing Competition held by The Bythams Spinney. The pupils decided to dress one tree between them. They took ideas and inspiration from The Bythams Spinney website and from their "Gallery Rebels" Art topic during which they had examined the shades of autumn leaves.
Each pupil made the initial letter of their name from twigs that they collected from our "Mini Spinney" in the school grounds. They then wrapped these in brightly coloured wools. The following week the class walked to The Spinney and tied their letters to the chosen tree. Finally they collected leaves of varying shades and arranged them in a "rainbow" around the base of the tree.
Children In Need 13 November
Thomas, from Year 6, raised £16 in sponsorship for Children In Need by remaining silent at school. His white board and pen were his best friends as they were the only way he could communicate during lessons and with his friends at break and lunch times. It was a fun way of raising money. Congratulations Thomas!
Remembrance Day Assembly 11 November
On Wednesday 11th November Key Stage 2 held their Remembrance Day Assembly, thinking especially of people from other countries who fought alongside the British forces. Badgers Class shared their poppy paintings which were based on the work of the artist Georgia O’Keefe.
Show Racism the Red Card 23 October
On the last day of term, all pupils dressed in red to support “Show Racism the Red Card” campaign.
Stargazers homework
Rockets 22 October
To mark the end of our Stargazers topic, Badgers sent various rockets into the sky. We were investigating how far each rocket could travel, and some managed to shoot way up into the sky, and one even travelled the length of our school field!
Moon Collage 14 October
As part of Design and Technology studies, the class is making a large collage moon using fabrics, wools, buttons and beads. Everyone is learning how to sew using a variety of thread and how to transfer paper designs onto fabric.
New Term 11 September
We have had a fantastic start to the term with everyone working hard and having fun. Please take a moment to look through our photos of the Science, Music and P.E. activities then ask your child about them.
