Eric Joyner is a San Francisco based artist who mainly uses Robots and Donuts in his art. Mainly vintage toy robots are paired with pastries (mainly doughnuts) to create fascinatingly bizarre paintings. Much like the subjects of his paintings, Joyner's artistic style is subtly nostalgic yet imaginatively unique. By juxtaposing familiar items with every day foods, he creates whimsical masterpieces that have the power to both comfort and inspire.
Mr Shuttleworth chose this artist as he has a deep love of science fiction and of course doughnuts. His art has a sense of humour and sometimes far deeper meaning. Mr Shuttleworth loves the idea of the doughnuts being the object of both desire and nemesis of the robots.
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.
More information about what your child is learning in school can be found on the curriculum map
