This term the Junior School has been busy exploring, creating, experimenting, and having fun while learning across Music, Art, and Science.
Our budding musicians have loved taking part in music lessons. We have been learning how to use our singing voices with confidence, practising good posture, and working together as a class. Students have enjoyed exploring different sounds, discovering the difference between high and low notes, loud and quiet music, and fast and slow tempos. Through songs, movement, and instruments, they have also been learning to keep a steady beat. It has been wonderful to see their confidence grow as they sing and perform alongside their friends.
In Art, students stepped into the colourful world of Pablo Picasso and Cubism. Using watercolours, crayons, and lots of imagination, they created vibrant artworks inspired by Picasso’s unique style. They explored geometric shapes such as circles, triangles, and squares to create fascinating animal masterpieces. Along the way, students learned about warm and cool colours and how artists use colour to create different moods and feelings. Their finished pieces are bright, bold, and full of personality!
Science has been full of hands-on investigations and exciting discoveries. Children became young scientists as they explored different materials and their properties. They observed, compared, and tested a variety of everyday objects, learning to describe what they noticed using new scientific vocabulary. One of the highlights was investigating which materials make the best insulators. Our learners wrapped bottles in different materials and made predictions before testing which one would keep water warm for the longest time. There was lots of discussion, careful observation, and excitement as they compared their results.
It has been fantastic to see so much curiosity, creativity, and teamwork throughout the term. We are incredibly proud of the enthusiasm our students bring to their learning each day and look forward to many more exciting discoveries next term.
