Fri 20 May 2022This week, we really enjoyed our Scottish themed day, linked to this half term's Humanities topic. We found out about Scottish traditions and culture, including traditional clothing, the Highland Games and clans. We even tried lots of Scottish food such as haggis, oatcakes and tablet. Our Higland Games tournament ended with a tug-o-war competition with the winning clan being the McWinners (named before their win!)

Fri 13 May 2022Year 3 had a new teacher with them this week. Miss.Tilley has been part of the Year 3 team while the Year 6 children did their SATS. The Year 3 children have been learning about days, months and years in Maths. They have written an estate agent brochure in English to sell an Ancient Roman Villa. They have brought home a sunflower to grow and measure. If it grows well please take photos for their Science books.

Thu 12 May 2022This week, in Maths, we have started a new unit of work all about shape. So far, we have identified and compared different angles and we have started to make links between the type of angle and how many degrees it would be. In Science, we discovered that we can actually retrieve salt from a salt water solution by allowing the water to evaporate. The texture and the appearance of the salt was just like the salt we dissolved in the water! We are looking forward to our Scottish themed day next week.

Thu 12 May 2022This week has seen the last lesson on fractions in Maths. We will be moving on to decimals- keep learning times tables as these will always be helpful. We have continued the read the Viking story of Beowulf and this is a rather gory tale where the hero overcomes an evil monster saving a kingdom from being destroyed. We have learned about how vicious the Vikings were when they invaded English shores about 1300 year ago.

Thu 05 May 2022Year 4 have been investigating circuits in both Science and DT this week. They have discovered that circuits need a battery, wires and a component such as a bulb to work. They have been able to identify why a circuit won't work. So that they can make a torch in a few weeks they have explored materials that could make a switch. In Spanish, they have learned the months of the year.

Thu 05 May 2022In preparation for SATS next week, we have spent this week doing last minute revision to help everyone feel as prepared as possible. It has been an intense term for the children so far and we are really proud of how well they have coped. In science, we have been looking at what inheritance and adaptation mean and how we inherit characteristics from our parents. In topic, we are looking at the weather and climate of Scandinavia.

Thu 28 Apr 2022Year 3 have had a really good week practising for sports day. It would be really helpful if they could try more skipping and egg (potato) and spoon balancing at home. Lots of them were very tired when running so maybe they could do a bit of running too! Thanks for your support. Really appreciate it.

Thu 28 Apr 2022This week we have continued learning about The Anglo Saxons and Vikings. We learned that the Angles, Saxons and Vikings all invaded Britain from countries in Europe. Did you know the song London's Bridge is falling down is about a Viking attack by a Viking called Olaf? Olaf tied ropes to the wooden legs of the bridge and the ships when English soldiers were firing down. He rowed away quickly and the bridge fell down!
We have also started to consider how a net to create a torch could be created and had a go at making different nets. We have started creating and investigating electrical circuits in Science.
Hopefully, we will have some sunshine over the weekend and we wish you a great Bank Holiday.

Thu 28 Apr 2022This week, we have started a new English unit, looking at balanced arguments. Does the Loch Ness Monster exist? What do you think? We have found reasons for and against, ready for next week. In Maths, we have continued our work on decimals, adding and subtracting these, using different methods.
5O had their first swimming session on Monday, which was very exciting. Everyone was assessed so that they can get straight in the pool next time. The instructors were really impressed that everyone had the correct kit.
