Norman Lewis was an American painter, scholar, and teacher. Norman Lewis was associated with abstract expressionism, and has won prizes for his art. His paintings often focused on black urban life and his community's struggles. Mr McMillan has chosen Norman Lewis as his class artist because of the interesting and wide-ranging style of his artwork. Norman Lewis uses a great variety of colours, ranging from black and very dark colours to bright and vibrant purples and oranges. His work depicts both the natural world and everyday life in the inner city and also expresses various emotions varying from anger to delight.

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.
