 We promote the development of all Characteristics of Effective Learning, this is the way children learn.

Playing and Exploring - this involves finding out and exploring, playing with what they know and being willing to have a go.

Active Learning - this involves being involved and concentrating, keeping trying and enjoying achieving what they set out to do

Creating and Thinking Critically – this involves having their own ideas, making links in their learning and working with ideas. 

In Art and Design we have been exploring the artwork of Anthony Gormley. We were inspired to create our own sculptures. Below are a few examples of our work.

Our topic for Spring Term is All Around Me.

We will be exploring our local community and the people who we see everyday. We will be thinking about the places we visit close to school and what it was like to live in Hindley Green in the past.
