Tree sculptures
Year 5 have been taking part in an eco/art project called ‘Keen to be Green’. They have worked with artist, Sam Owen Hall, and used recycled materials to create tree sculptures. The focus of the project was to take rubbish and transform it into something beautiful that looks like it belongs to nature. We think the outcomes look beautiful!

Transition Project for years 5 – 8
Y5-8 Continuity
The project aims to improve communication between Key Stages 2
and 3 by taking an aspect of the mathematics curriculum or a
pedagogical approach as the focus for the work.
Teachers from different phases work together collaboratively to
develop a consistent approach to their chosen aspect through discussion,
joint lesson design and delivery, observation and the development of
documentation to support continuity. As a result, channels of communication are established and there is an increased focus on curriculum and pedagogical continuity at key transition points which supports children as they move from KS2 to KS3.
Target Audience
The participants will be a mix of teachers from secondary schools and primary schools, ideally where the schools are linked locally.
Maximum 2 participants per school.
