Art
In Brancaster bubble, we have been looking at dragons eyes and have been carefully following some tutorial videos on how to draw an eye. We then used ‘Austin’s Butterfly’ to help us with the mindset that art isn’t always perfect the first time we try.
Have a look at this video. See if you can do it like Austin did!

Education City Achievers
Over and Above
Last, but definitely not least, I have some children who have gone over and above this week. As we are unable to have an assembly to celebrate this, I am going to give these children an ‘Over and Above’ certificate for their learning this week. I will email your parents your certificate if you are working at home so they can print them off for you.
The children who will receive a certificate this week are:
George – for working extremely hard and completely work to a high standard
Joshua – for focussing well in all his lessons at school
Mia – for writing a beautiful poem about her dragon
Juliet – for great contributions in class discussions
Sonny – for persevering and working independently in maths
and finally…
Taya T – for persevering in her learning
Again, well done to every single one of you for coming back to your learning in difficult circumstances and persevering after a tough start to 2021! Hope you all have a lovely and restful weekend (including you too parents/carers)!
