Children in Need 🐻 💛

We had so much fun celebrating and fundraising for Children in Need!

Art 🎨

In Art we have been learning how to apply colour and pattern. We have been working really hard in art to create work which explore specific artist elements. We enjoyed listening to the story ‘My Mum and Dad make me Laugh’ by Nick Sharratt to inspire us with how to use spots and stripes in our art work. We also enjoyed ‘Fish Patterns’ to help us learn about creating different types of patterns. We love using the watercolours to create beautiful art work.

Religious and Moral Education 💟

In RME we have been learning how to deepen our understanding of belief. We have also been learning how to explore religions around the world. We have been researching Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Sikhism, Judaism and Hinduism.  Some children were brilliant leaders of learning by sharing what they know about their own religions and what they do to practise their belief.

Happy 60th Birthday Cross Arthurlie 🎂

We had so much fun swinging back to the 60s to celebrate 60 years of Cross Arthurlie Primary School.
we enjoyed learning about life in the 60s and taking part in a House Quiz all about the 60s. We learned that:

  • Toys started being made of plastic in the 60s
  • The Beetles ruled the music world!
  • Fashion was a big deal and people started exploring fashion in new ways!
  • Lego and the original etch-e-sketch were the most popular Christmas toys in 1965.
  • The first colour tv was invented
