Y5 Ndebele African House Painting

After reading our class novel, ‘Journey to Jo’Burg’, as part of our stories from other cultures topic, we have looked further into the art of South Africa.

We came across beautiful Ndebele house painting. They used bright colours and geometric patterns to decorate their homes as a sign of celebration, status or power.

Year 5 have designed their own house paintings in the style of Ndebele.

KS2 Junior Road Safety Officers!

Today the Junior Road Safety Officers (JRSO’s) teamed up with the Police community support officers (PCSOs) to conduct a traffic survey outside of school, specifically to see how many people were seen parking on the yellow lines during pick up.

They will now meet with Mrs Watts and the Safety Guardians to come up with a plan to help make the roads near our school, a safer place for children.

A massive thank you to the PCSOs for their invaluable assistance in this initiative.
