Arts Week - July 2010

During the week of June 28th, Manford held an Arts Week. The theme of the week was The Natural World.

Year 6 decided to link the art with their study of Andy Warhol and created a colourful print of animals or plants from the forest.

They also created a picture using plants from the environmental garden and photographic paper. The children worked well and thoroughly enjoyed the tasks, as you can see from the pictures below.

Year 6 - The Apprentice Challenge!

After the hard work of the SATS tests, Year 6 are given a challenge... they have to set up and run their own business at the school's Inflatable Day.

The children were allowed to choose who they wanted to work with and they had to assign a Team Leader, Finance Manager, Advertising Manager etc. They worked very well together and all managed to run a very successful stall, all making a profit!

Well done Year 6, we are all very proud of you!

Freshwater Theatre Company - John Lennon

Year 6 were very lucky to receive a visit from the one and only John Lennon! Well, an actor pretending to be John Lennon really, but he was very good.

He came to tell the children all about John Lennon's life and how influential the Beatles have been on the pop culture. The children are currently researching about The Beatles as part of our history topic; The 1960's.

All children had a great time finding out information, singing song and having a dance!
