In Year 3 this week, we have been very collaborative and investigative. We have been learning lots about the topic of 'Light'. We first learnt that light travels in straight lines. We then had a very practical lesson looking at how light travels through different materials. https://t.co/UxtI2J715x

Well done to 2D for being the winners of the first Year 2 TTRS battle. 2D have received their dojo for being the winning and the individual winner has received 3 dojos! The battle is happening again this week, 2D vs. 2E. I wonder which class will score the most this week and win?

It has been lovely to welcome back @arts_dudley to Colley Lane with Djembe drums in Y4 and mixed brass lessons. Music and personal potential side by side! @WinAcadTrust https://t.co/fPrNN13Tqy

This week, Year 3 have been creating snowflakes! TWe then had a go at sketching 2 or 3 of their favourite snowflake designs in their Art books, before deciding on their favourite one to create with cotton buds and PVA glue on some card. Here are some of their fantastic designs! https://t.co/NKZAGFrRRj

Year 6 pupils have been challenged to show responsible and compassionate attitudes this week. We asked them to self-quiz and think about actions that they can commit to in order to help them pave the way for an ideal future. https://t.co/IFijWhltsL

Yesterday we launched our first TTRS battle, 2D vs 2E. Make sure you play as often as you can to collect points for your class team. The winning class will all receive a dojo and the overall winner will win 3! I wonder which class will win the first ever Year 2 battle!

In Year 3 last week, we learnt about a new drawing and shading technique known as cross hatching. We watched a video and then did some practise patches before drawing a shape and showing light and dark using the cross hatching technique. https://t.co/nVr47Zj1aT
