Heron Class @FP Home Learning – Amazing Vehicle Creations! 

We’ve been so impressed with the fantastic home learning that has been coming in this term. So many children have designed and built their own vehicles at home using creative materials — from cardboard and bottle tops to recycled boxes and construction kits. The effort, imagination, and problem-solving skills on display have been brilliant!

This links perfectly with our DT learning this term, where we are exploring how wheels, axles, and bases work together to make vehicles move. In class, we have been investigating different types of wheels and axles, testing how they turn, and thinking carefully about how to build a strong base so a vehicle can travel smoothly.

Thank you for your continued support at home — it makes a huge difference to the children’s learning and confidence. Keep up the great building, designing, and experimenting!

Heron Class have been exploring the work of Wassily Kandinsky in our art lessons. We looked closely at his famous circle compositions and discussed how he used colour, shape, and layering to create bold abstract artwork.

The children then created their own circle-inspired pieces using mixed media techniques, including collaging and layering different materials to build texture and depth. They thought carefully about their colour choices, experimenting with warm and cool colours and how these can complement and contrast with each other to create strong visual impact.

We were so impressed with the creativity, care, and artistic confidence shown — each piece is unique and full of personality. Heron Class should be very proud of their fantastic outcomes!
