Outdoor Art
For Outdoor Learning Day, Year 3 have been collecting natural resources on our school field and then, taking inspiration from the artist Andy Goldsworthy, have created their own pieces of outdoor art.
Natural Art
Year 2 were inspired by the art work of Andy Goldsworthy. The children went out into the school grounds to find natural materials to use in their work. They collected lots of leaves, twigs, seeds and stones. They then worked together as a team to make natural art. What do you think?
Symmetry
As part of Outdoor Learning Day, Year 4 had great fun practising their estimation skills in preparation for next week. Following this, they made symmetrical pictures using natural resources.
Word Class
Today, Year 5 have been developing their understanding of word classes. They worked in teams to group different words into nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, propositions and determiners before building sentences using words from the different classes.

This afternoon, Year 3 worked in groups to create an composition inspired by the weather. They discussed what feelings can be represented by different types of weather and create sounds to match each mood.
School Librarian of the Year
This week, Miss Cleveland, Mrs MacDonald and Mrs Whetstone travelled to London for the finals of the School Librarian of the Year competition. As the only primary school included in the finals, Cannon Park made quite an impression thanks to the efforts of Miss Cleveland the four children, who joined the staff for the day.
Value Certificates
Well done to our certificate winners this week, who have displayed our Cannon Park Values.
Chris Priestly Visit
We were delighted to welcome the author, Chris Priestley, to work with Years 5 & 6. He talked about his life as an author and illustrator, and showed the children how to ‘characterise’ a drawing. We then had a go at drawing ourselves as pirates. Huge thanks to Kenilworth Books and Bloomsbury Children’s Books for bringing Chris to our school for the afternoon.
Relative Clauses
Year 6 have been working hard this afternoon to turn simple sentences into complex sentences using relative clauses. They worked in pairs to identify the nouns in each sentence and adding in suitable relative clauses.
