Year five loved learning about inaccurate information online in computing this afternoon! We explored different websites to figure out which were inaccurate. As you can see, not all of the information online is true! @PalladianTrust pic.twitter.com/m6eX8JFq8l

This term in Year 3, the children have worked in small groups to create a photomontage of photographs they have taken around the school grounds. Their inspiration was the artist David Hockney and his work on freestyle 'joiners'. @PalladianTrust pic.twitter.com/kyiekOlV7h

Year 5 experimented with Cyanotype photography today! A surface is treated with a light-sensitive solution, then objects or negatives are placed on it and exposed to sunlight. The exposed areas turn blue, and after washing in water, the image becomes permanent.@PalladianTrust pic.twitter.com/cNzOH26vou
