Year 5 have been studying the work of Frank Auerbach. We have compared portrait artists and then looked in more depth at Auerbach’s work. After practising how to draw a face and exploring the tones we could make with pencils, graphite and charcoal, we used this to draw our own self-portrait in Auerbach’s style.

Here are some of the finished pieces in Acacia class as well as some of Mulberry’s skills!

Year 6 have been reading the Explorer by Katherine Rundell; we have been focussing on her amazing characterisation and have loved getting to know Con, Fred, Lila and Max.

In the photos, you’ll see how Acer class have been building up to their final, extended piece of writing with some shared writing.

Some of our Year 6s had an excellent morning @stgeorges_school_harpenden during a Creative Writing Workshop. We really appreciated being invited and the children really enjoyed themselves as well as expanded their vocabulary. Thank you!

Year 5 had a fantastic Viking day this week. They were all so engaged throughout the day and thank you for all your support at home with the costumes, they looked amazing. We had great fun making our own Viking longboats, listening to Viking sagas, playing a Viking board game, making salt dough runes and we even had a reenactment Viking battle!

Year 5 enjoyed an excellent trip to Hazard Alley. They learnt about all kinds of personal safety, including road crossings, making 999 calls and how to stay safe during a housefire.

It was a wonderful way to start our school term with a special visit from Mr Bart Gee - an inspirational speaker, teaching how to turn disability into possibility. The children were captivated by his speaking but also his piano playing. Thank you Bart for visiting The Grove Junior School!

The children in Y4 Cedar Class thoroughly enjoyed exploring the vibrant and expressive artwork of Frida Kahlo and Kehinde Wiley. They were inspired by the artists' unique styles and used a range of creative ideas to design their own double-page spreads. They thoughtfully combined colour, pattern, sketches and written reflections to showcase their learning, demonstrating both creativity and a growing appreciation of different artistic techniques and influences.

A beautiful first full day here at Mill on the Brue with Year 6! They are loving the high ropes activities as well as raft building, assault courses and getting thoroughly muddy.

Year 6 had such a fantastic time at Top Jump celebrating the end of year that we didn't manage to take many photos!

Despite the warmth, we had a brilliant time playing giant 'it', scaling the climbing walls, sliding down huge slides and lots of other exciting activities!
