Autumn 1 - Week 5 w.c 28.09.26

Posted: Sep 28, 2026 by: Mr Dring (p.dring) on: Beech Tree Class Blog

Hello

What an exciting Week 5! We are fully into our swimming routine now however please ensure your child has everything they need (including their change of dry clothes) as the Authority coach nearly left without us due to missing kit needing locating this week. However, once there the children and we are really appreciating and enjoying the longer 45 minutes in the pool.

A highlight for all in class this week was our Art (see more details below).

A reminder, if you have not already booked your parents' evening slot, please do so as soon as possible and that the Tuesday night will be with myself and the Wednesday night will be with Miss Maher.

Art Update
This term in Art, we have been exploring European artists, including Michelangelo and Anselm Kiefer, and we will soon be moving on to Rembrandt and Salvador Dalí.
Last week, we had a go at painting the ceiling – although not quite as literally as Michelangelo! The children stuck paper underneath the tables and painted while lying underneath them, using acrylic paint.
It certainly gave them an appreciation of what Michelangelo might have experienced while painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel! They discovered that painting overhead is rather more challenging than it looks – but they had lots of fun getting creative and experimenting with the unusual viewpoint.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Mr Dring and Miss Maher
