Friday 10 January 2025 Headteacher's Reward Afternoon - Chinese Art With Chinese New Year just around the corner (29 Jan 25), our reward afternoon had a Chinese art theme to it this term. I was once taught be a Chinese Calligrapher the basics of how to use a brush and ink to create traditional Bamboo paintings; it has been a few years, but I was able to remember much of what she taught me so that I could share them with the children. We followed 5 steps which was rounded off by finishing the paintings off with a traditional 'Chinese Chop' sign off emblem. Usually, this would be a form of painter's signature (in the red square) but we used a potato print of the word 'Snake' ? (Shé), to mark the start of the Year of the Snake in 2025.

We had to decide a suitable location and give a six-figure grid reference using an ordnance survey map. We then had to describe the geographical features of our site and why we had chosen it. We used our knowledge of seasonality to create a planting and growing plan and decided how we would transport our goods using the transport links in our local area. Well done Year 5 - you are 'Great Geographers!'
