Summer Term 2026 - Y5 Muddy Puddle Day

Spring Term 2026 - Year 5 - Muddy Puddle Day

Year 5 had a wonderful Muddy Puddle Day starting to create their own 3D Art installations linked to our Earthquake work in Geography. These will be showcased later in the term in our exhibition called 'Aftermath' so watch this space.
We created our own mini Earthquake scenes in a room including detail such as mini furniture. We also had great fun creating our own earthquake cracks in the playground!

Spring Term 2026 - Year 6 - Muddy Puddle Day

We spent the morning creating Anglo-Saxon jewellery using clay and designing Anglo-Saxon shields. We used Den Building kits in the afternoon to work in groups and use our imaginations to build a sturdy Anglo-Saxon themed settlement thinking about what they had in their houses. We also carried out a practical Science investigation separating materials.

Spring 2026 Year 4 Muddy Puddle Day

Year 3, had a fantastic Muddy Puddle day. We began by producing collaborative abstract artwork in the style of Sir Frank Bowling. Our paintings represented our school grounds and the rain helped the paint to slide as we tilted the canvas, it was very messy but great fun.

Our next activity, was a maths orienteering course. The children enjoyed using their mapping skills, to find and solve 25 addition and subtraction questions around the school grounds.

After lunch, we were back to using our artistic and observational skills, painting a black silhouette of a tree in our playground on a sunset background. Later, we learned about the Ancient Egyptian game of Senet, we then chalked grids on the playground and played the game using sticks and stones. We finished the day with another Egyptian traditional game of Tug ‘O’ War.

Year 3 Muddy Puddle Day Summer 2 

Time flies when your having fun! That happened on the morning of Year 3 Muddy Puddle day. We began by finding clocks that had been hidden around the school grounds and telling the time in analogue and digital. We then chalked our own clocks and found sticks to make the arms of the clocks. We told the time on each others chalked clocks. 

In the afternoon, we were hoping the sun would shine to carry out investigations into shadows linked to our learning in science. Unfortunately, it wasn't to be so we made our own shadow puppets and took torches outside. We then made shadow puppet stories and investigated how the size of the shadow changes depending on how close an object is to the light source.  

Year 4 used the Roman shields they made to practise the different Roman army battle formations that they would have carried out in battle. We did this indoors because of the rain.

Mini Greek Olympics. We had so much fun.
