Breaking news
This term in history we have been learning about the Stone Age. We have looked at the three different periods within the Stone Age (Palaeolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic), why the period was called the Stone Age and how inventions advanced over the years. We have spent time looking at Stone Age settlements and recreating some in shoe boxes and learning about Stonehenge, recreating this with clay!
Learners experienced a trip to Yorkshire Sculpture Park this term to see the work of the American artist Leonardo Drew. The large-scale assembled sculpture is described as a ‘powerful reflection on the weight of collective experience, memory, and the cycles of life and death, decay and regeneration.’ Learners had mixed opinions about the work, which engaged them in discussion and conversation. Connecting to the ideas of the artist, a printing workshop ended the session and learners repurposed fallen and decaying leaves that they had collected and used these as art stencils to produce screen prints on to calico material.

This term we are celebrating appointing a KS4 Reading Ambassador. She is showing willingness to share her reading passion and enthusiasm to promote a love of reading. Our Coritani Ambassador is modelling her fluency skills and knowledge by reading to the younger learners and also listening to individual readers who are starting out on their journey. Our Ambassador is reliable, friendly, confident and full of praise.
We are excited to see what develops in the next chapter of this journey!
This half term the learners in Ancholme class have been planning a space party, inspired by their English book; Toys in Space.
