In Key Stage 2, the Year 3 pupils used shapes to draw a variety of forms such as people, dogs, elephants and owls. Year 4 created watercolour paintings of overlapping shapes and applied the watercolour skills they had been practising in class.

Lyrics for the St George's Day song , by Pickering
Date: 16th Apr 2019 @ 3:09pm
There was a brave knight long ago,
Long ago, Long ago.
There was a brave knight long ago,
Long ago.
There was a dragon in his cave,
In his cave, in his cave.
There was a dragon in his cave,
Long ago.
St. George went riding on his horse,
On his horse, on his horse.
St. George went riding on his horse
To the cave.
The dragon roared and breathed out fire,
Breathed out fire, breathed out fire.
The dragon roared and breathed out fire,
At St. George.
St. George did stab him with his sword
In his heart, in his heart.
St. George did stab him with his sword,
Long ago.
.
George set the princess free at last,
Free at last, free at last,
George set the princess free at last,
Free at last.
So, everybody’s happy now,
Happy now, happy now,
So, everybody’s happy now,
Long ago.
