Following our visit to Harrogate High School this morning, Year 5 all completed fieldwork around the local area focusing on 'smells'. We did a 'Smellscape' to see what smells we could recognise and how they impact our environment. We discussed how the weather and the settlement type makes an impact on the smells we identified!

5BH started their David Hockney unit in Art today. Here they are replicating one of Hockney’s paintings from “The Wolds” series. They worked hard to mix the bright, bold colours he used when painting his Yorkshire landscapes. There was lots of focus and careful attention to detail in their work today.

Brighten up your morning by listening to 2LS who have learned to play ‘you are my sunshine’ on the glockenspiel! The children had to put their learning about tempo in action to ensure they were in time with the beat to play the notes at the right time, lots of concentration needed!
