Year 1 Changing seasons!

Year 1 continued exploring the weather in geography this week by  checking the weather forecast for Chessington and comparing it to other places in the UK. The children then listened to the story ‘It Looked Like Spilt Milk’ all about fun cloud shapes and got creative with a collaborative piece of cloud art.

Year 2

On Tuesday, Oak Class paid a visit to Hook Library. We spent some time looking at all the books (as well as colouring and playing with the toys!) and then Fran from the library came and told us all about the Summer Reading challenge. She also read us a couple of stories, which we really enjoyed. It was a lovely afternoon!

Year 3

Year 3 thoroughly enjoyed their first coding lessons using Micro:bits in computing. Working in pairs, they explored the programming environment (similar to the Scratch software they have used before) and different basic coding blocks.

Year 4

This week, Year 4 proudly represented our school at the Rose Theatre  for the Kingston Music Service - Primary Singing Festival. After months of hard work and dedication, they sang their hearts out and performed with incredible conviction, absolutely wowing the audience! A huge thank you to all the parents and carers who came along to watch and support us on the day. Your encouragement meant the world to the children.

You rocked it, Team Year 4!

Year 5

 Year 5 have been practising shading and cross hatching this week in Art. We were using the sides of our pencils to create lines, which were closer or further apart, to create shadows. We then created our own sketches of objects around the classroom using these skills. 

Year 6

 It is an incredibly busy and exciting time in Year 6 as we approach the end of the summer term! Behind the scenes, our classrooms have been transformed into bustling production studios this week. The children are hard at work finalising scenes, polishing lines, and perfecting their performances for our highly anticipated end of year production. Alongside our theatrical rehearsals, Year 6 has also been in a reflective mood. The children have been looking back on their unique journeys through Ellingham Primary School, reminiscing about favourite moments, shared laughs, and milestones. To capture these precious memories, they have begun writing and creating their very own autobiographies, detailing their time here from their very first day to their final year.
