Mouth Painting

Did you see the fantastic item on BBCs 'Inside Out' this week? It was about blind artist Sargy Mann.

This term the children in Class 1 have been learning about the body - how it works and sometimes how it doesn't work. In a lesson about disability the children tried painting with their mouths and found it was very difficult, especially trying to keep their hands behind their backs!

Space Day with Dennington

This week we had a wonderful day making space ships and space helmets with Dennington. We even made a space ship we could get inside.

Kaleidoscopes

Class 2 have made these wonderful Kaleisoscopes! We took a Pringles tube, (other tubes of crisps are available!), did some clever cutting and sticking, added some mirror card, in the shape of a triangular prism and a set of really good instructions to follow! We were all really pleased with the results!

Making the Planets

Class 1 have spent quite a while making the planets in our solar system out of paper mache for a classroom display. It has been hard work, but we are really pleased with the results.

Class 2 Puppets

Welcome back!

Welcome back to all pupils and staff after the summer holidays. Staff were in on Wednesday for our Professional Development Day. We were joined, in the morning, by staff from Dennington, as we are hoping to work increasingly closely with our partner school as time goes on.
The children have been settling in over this Thursday and Wednesday. Its always so exciting moving up to a new class and getting to know your new routine. Even more excited are those new children starting in reception, we welcome them to Charsfield and are sure they will be very happy here.
We've already had brilliant news! Last term Class 3 entered a competition to draw a picture inspired by the sea side. We received the news only yesterday that one of our new year 6s, Brittany Kemp, has won! So well done Brittany. Her prize was a lovely folder full of fun activities and advice to help her become an even better artist!
