Big Worlds in Little Books | Years 1/2 |
Bramwell, Charlotte, Emily and Anne Bronte were brother and sisters. As adults they were famous writers. As children they created their own worlds; Glasstown and Angia, and wrote about them in tiny books. Today we create our own worlds in tiny places: the inside of a shell could have a house, or a town, or a country in it. We'll find ways to describe what goes on in them: writing, drawing, making models, acting…Finally we'll think about which worlds are real, which are too small to get into and how to tell the difference in order to avoid bumping our heads on looking-classes (with a little help from Lewis Carroll and Charlotte Bronte).

Looks Like Rain or Sunny Side Up | Years 3/4 |
This day might be edible (mashed potato clouds) and is about different ways in which the effects of weather can or have been portrayed by artists and writers. By looking at proverbs and descriptions linked with the weather ("Red Sky At Night", Raining Cats And Dogs") you will create visual works that may even be fit to drink, hang on the wall, or even "a storm in a teacup".

Up and Down | Years 7/8 |
"It's all a matter of how dense you are!" said Jean E.Us to her friend Ike U.Nort. "What do you mean?" asked he. "Well, if it took Leonardo da Vinci 48 years to show his ideas on falling slowly and the Montgolfier brothers took 'til 1783 to get their balloon to go up, I'm sure you can sort such things out in a day!" said Jean. A day spent gravitating between the physics of Up and Down or levitating somewhere in between.
