This week marks the finals of the Cookery Challenge for the Year 8s – a surprising and spectacular Post-CE activity where pupils researched, cooked and baked dishes in their own homes and reported back to Mrs Platt on their progress. In Week 1, the theme was chocolate, Week 2 was fruit and the final week…

For all year groups there is a Pick and Mix Sketchbook challenge. The challenge is to work your way through a list of seemingly ridiculous tasks. Tasks such as ‘draw three circles and make them into something’ or ‘draw a hole in the paper’. The tasks are designed to remove the cobwebs, to spark the…

During this time we have been limited by where we are allowed to go and consequently what we are able to see. So it has been interesting to see the pupils’ response to the task of taking photographs of seemingly normal things in close-up. Here is a selection from the Vinehall photographers and I am…

This week the spotlight falls on Year 4 for their efforts during this time of remote learning. There are some members of the group who have gone the extra mile to participate in all the videos and tasks set for them. Their tasks are the same, but the outcomes are very different. Enjoy! Mrs Konyu…

There are creations which…

When Mrs K sent out the request for pupils to send in their NHS rainbows, she was overwhelmed by the amazing response.
