    This week, we have enjoyed Maths Day with the theme of the Olympics (finding out about the history and Japan, which is this year's location). Some beautifully drawn symmetrical flags were created and the children had a go at answering various challenges set. We have started to look at inspirational people and what makes a good leader. In Science, thermal conductivity has been investigated. We are now looking forward to a Sports Day and Spanish day in the next couple of weeks.

    We have had a busy week, completing all of the tests. We are so proud of everyone for working hard and trying their best. A big well done! In science, we made our own pan pipes and flutes from straws, which helped us to learn about pitch and why sounds are high or low. We are doing really well in Spanish too and we can now say the date of special events, including our birthdays! We're really looking forward to healthy living week next week.

    The Year 5s have had their Summer assessments this week and ,especially considering how different the environment has been for them, have remained positive and have worked really hard. They should be proud of themselves. The children are still enjoying practical Science sessions- last week was focused on reversible and irreversible changes. They have learned more about Henry VIII and why he had 6 wives as well as making a great effort drawing him.

    It has been so lovely to have the children back.  Whilst it is not our usual setup, all the children have done brilliantly and taken it in their stride.  They have embraced the portaloos and are coping well with all 43 children being in the hall together.  This week, we have been revising fractions in maths and SPAG in our English lessons in preparation for SATs week.  This afternoon, we have been working with Winning Minds to help prepare for the transition to secondary school.

    This week, Year 4 have continued our topic of Sound in Science and we explored how different sounds were made. This resulted in a very noisy afternoon banging drums and cymbals. We've also been finding out where different counties and cities are located in England. We're really looking forward to film night after school today!

    We have been focussing on newspaper reports in Year 3 this week and have been learning all about the different features. We have been writing our own all about the short film Ruckus - ask your children what they know about the story! Perhaps you could even interview them as a witness! We are looking forward to producing a final copy of these next week and writing our newspaper article in columns!

    This week it was fantastic to get back to face to face teaching and learning in our new location. We have all tried really hard to adapt and make the church hall our new school. We have all now read some of our class read Macbeth and have started to learn about the Tudor reign. We look forward to the coming weeks and all the exciting activities that we will get to take part in.

    It has been lovely to welcome Year 4 back this week. They have adapted well to some differences around the school and the classrooms they are in. In English, we have been focusing on playscripts where we had the chance to get out in the sun and do some acting. We have also been learning about shapes and their properties in Maths. We've been looking into sandwiches in DT ready for when we get to make our own sandwich soon!

    Year three had a great time watching “Wish Dragon” for their film night. They were really well behaved and thoroughly enjoyed the popcorn, hotdogs and drinks. It was so nice to do something a bit different even in our “Bubble”.

    For the past two weeks, the online learners have impressed us with their dedication and hard working attitude. It's been great to see work on Seesaw from these learners but also those not working online. It's been fun to begin to research the beginning of the Tudor times, including the Battle of Bosworth. As well as this, we have explored the theatres of the time and started to study a version of MacBeth. Well done. We look forward to seeing you all again next week.
