Do you have to be a great drawer to be a great artist?

Upper School have looked at Andy Warhol’s Pop Art and graced their photos to re create his work.

They have also looked at the stunning close up flowers of Georgia O’Keeffe and used photos to create their own work.  They have surprised themselves with their talents.

Break time in the quiet area

Children have been loving break times in our new quiet area... the perfect location for reading, chatting and admiring our freshly potted plants!

Year 3’s spectacular sports event

This afternoon, 12 children from year 3  went to Harvey Haddon Sports Village to take part in a Flying High Trust athletics event. Every single one of the children put 100% effort into each event and we were so proud! The relay races were especially exciting (a certain lower school teacher lost her voice cheering them on!) and all 12 children participated in the races. 

All the children represented Porchester beautifully and impressed us with their ability and talent. One child was awarded with a trophy from each team and for Porchester this went to Noah. Noah was the most springy and balanced member of the team for sure! 

Well done Team Porchester!

Plants all in a row

At the start of our topic about plants, the children in Year 3/4 have worked in groups and planted a plant, then placed their pots outside. Throughout this term we'll be caring for them and watching as they grow.

30 Days Wild

After half term, the lower school children will be learning all about plants. This week the children were all given a Wildlife Trust 30 days wild sheet to take home. We thought it would be a fun activity, as well as support our topic work, to see how many 'wild activities' the children can complete in the month of June. If the children complete an activity they can come and tell the class about it and we can put it on our class charts. 

Some of the activities suggested in the 30 days wild pack include the following:

• Go on a bug hunt
• Sketch a garden/landscape/animal/flower picture
• Count the number of insects/animals you see
• Look at the clouds and see what shapes they make
• Make something out of sticks and twigs - a den would be great fun!
• Collect leaves that have fallen and make a collage with them
• Write a wild poem
• Find out what the flowers are called in the garden/park

What ever you do this half term, have lots of fun!
