Welcome to our class
Art week: Drawing
​
The children in Avon class have been busy working on their drawing skills. They have explored a range of different drawing materials and have experimented with different ways of making marks including shading and epxloring tone. We focused on the artist, Edward Lear, who was known for drawing fossils. This linked perfectly to our new topic, 'Dinosaur Planet'! As our final piece we designed and drew our own journal covers. It has been a great start to their Art journey in Avon!
Racehorse Visit
​
We were lucky enough to meet a racehorse this week at school! The trainers talked to us about the horse's racing history and how they look after him. We got to try on jockey silks which we really enjoyed! It was fantastic to meet such a wonderful and calm horse, and we all loved giving him a stroke! Thank you to Mrs Gardner for sorting this excellent experience for us all!
Science Investigation
​
This week in Science, Avon Class have been learning about materials, their uses and how they can be changed.
All the children really enjoyed taking part in our class Jelly bean experiment!
Each child followed the steps we planned out together and recorded their prediction, method and conclusion in their science books.
Christmas Tree Festival
Avon Class enjoyed their visit to South Molton Parish Church to see the Christmas Tree Festival. It was brilliant to see the different trees from around our community all displayed. We made our own clay decorations and decorated them. We had a great time!
South Molton in the past
This week Avon Class were lucky enough to be shown lots of photographs of South Molton from the past. During our topic of "Street Detectives" we have been exploring our local town and the local amenities. It was great to see things that have stayed the same over the years and also things that are now different. We would like to say a big thank you to Mrs Pincombe and Mrs Bray for organising this for the children

Deaf workshop
This week Avon Class had a very special visitor! Kylie from Devon County Council came to teach us all about Deaf Awareness. We were shown how sound waves travel through sound bowls and had lots of opportunities to ask Kylie questions. It was brilliant! Thank you for coming to see us, Kylie!"
VE Day
​
Avon Class were lucky enough to be invited to the South Molton Town Council's 80th VE Day celebrations. We attended a tea party at the Assembly Rooms which was brilliant. We sang wartime songs, ate delicious party food and were entertained by a great performance too. Later on in the day we sang "White Cliffs of Dover" at the unveiling of the memorial plaque. It was a very special day and we were so proud and grateful to be a part if it!
