On Monday 8th November, Year 5 visited the local Hindu temple, Shree Ghanapathy. They learned more about the religion at the temple and it was a great experience for their current RE topic, Hinduism.
Year 6 Visit The National Gallery
As you know, our topic this term has been Ancient Greece – specifically The Adventures of Odysseus by Hugh Lupton. Therefore, we jumped at the chance to go to the National Gallery last week where we would be able to see two paintings that were based on Homer’s adventure: Ulysses Deriding Polyphemus and Penelope and the Suitors.
We were lucky to have a very informative talk by Nick (one of the gallery guides) who gave us an insight into the mysteries behind the paintings and expand our knowledge of the story even more.
As well as the informative tour, we also had our own challenge for the day. Miss Manhire had given us a list of artists, paintings and other interesting things to find in and around the gallery. Here are some of the fantastic things we found:
‘Anyone seen my lion?’
Mosaic
The Judgement of Paris
A London scene
Mrs Sullivan’s group
A portrait of someone our age (this boy is 11)
Van Gogh
and a present from Norway to England!
It was such a good day and a member of the public even told Miss Manhire how brilliant gallery visitors we were.
Year 6 😉
Year 4 Trip to The Japanese Garden
Year Four had a wonderful trip to The Japanese Garden at Holland Park to think even more about their Japan topic! Thank you to all the parents who came to help, we had a great day!
