Alexander Calder was an American sculptor from Pennsylvania. His mother, father and grandfather were all successful artists. Alexander Calder is known for inventing wire sculptures and the mobile, which is like a  hanging sculpture. He uses air currents to make his works move by themselves. Mr Harness thought that creating our own version of Alexander Calder’s mobiles would make our display 3D, and the whole school would love looking at it! Mr Harness thought the children would also love the use of block primary colours, which makes his work bright and bold.

Homework
 
Children will be given a list of Spellings every Monday which need to be learnt for the following Monday.

Reading is also very important. We encourage children to read with an adult as often as possible. Please sign the reading record when you read with your child/children.

Please see the home procedures for your children's year group. 

 
Library
 
We have an exciting bus library with many interesting books. Children will visit once a week and will be encouraged to borrow books.

PE
 
Physical Education takes place twice a week. It is very important that PE kits are kept in school at all times. Please mark each item clearly – that includes plimsolls, as it can quite difficult for your child to find them when they are all changing at once.
