This week has been another busy one for Sycamore.

We celebrated World Mental Health Day by doing some yoga, working on our core strength in PE, taking a mindful walk in nature and creating our own Calm Clouds to remind us of some of the things we can do to help us feel happy and calm.

We also learned about the importance of teamwork in Science. The children worked in teams to plan and create a strong house for the Three Little Pigs. We tested the houses to see if they would withstand a blowing fan.

We became Artists, in the style of Kehinde Wiley. The children had been working on colourful nature backgrounds for their portraits of their friends and this week they sat and drew each other, trying hard to include all their facial features and use the correct skin, eye and hair colours.

We think they look fantastic and the children were excited to add them to our hanging art gallery in the classroom.

Have a look at the video!
