Winterton PrimarySchool & Nursery

🎨🍪 Shark Class Art – Inspired by Joel Penkman! 🍰🎨 This term, Shark Class have been taking inspiration from artist Joel Penkman, who creates wonderfully realistic paintings of biscuits, cakes and all things yummy! 😋 The children have been developing their observational drawing and sketching skills, carefully studying real biscuits and capturing their shapes, details and textures. They have then experimented with a range of materials, including watercolour pencils, felt tips and acrylic paints, to bring their artwork to life with colour. 🖍🖌 But that's not all! 👀 Next, the children will be exploring how to transform their 2D biscuit paintings into 3D creations using modelling materials. We can't wait to see their delicious-looking designs take shape! Watch this space for more updates from Shark Class! 💙💛

🐳💙 Seal Class R.E. Day – Why Should I Say Sorry? 💙🐳 The children in Seal Class have had a wonderful R.E. day exploring the big question: "Why should I say sorry?" 💭 We began our day by listening to the Bible story Jonah and the Whale, followed by the story Sorry, Really Sorry by Joanna Cutler. 📚 Throughout the day, the children took part in a range of thoughtful and creative activities. They designed their own sorry posters, role-played different scenarios where saying sorry might be needed, and made sorry cards to share with others. 💌🎨 The children worked incredibly hard and contributed brilliantly to our class discussions, sharing their ideas and thinking carefully about the importance of saying sorry, forgiveness and making things right when we have made a mistake. 🌟 Well done, Seal Class, for your wonderful effort, thoughtful reflections and fantastic participation throughout the day! 🦭👏

🍂 Autumn Adventures in Early Years! 🍂 Today, some of our Early Years pupils enjoyed a wonderful Autumn adventure! We started by exploring pumpkins and different squashes and creating our woodland-themed sensory tray. 🎃🌿 We've also been safely exploring different tools in class, measuring and creating woodland homes to just the right size. 🔨📏 We then headed out into our local area, walking past the church and allotments towards the old church ruins. We were so busy collecting and discovering signs of Autumn that we didn't quite make it there! 🍁🌰 Being a smaller cohort means we can take our time, follow the children's interests and enjoy lots of wonderful learning experiences out in nature. 🌳💛
