Fri 14 May 2021This week, we have been planning and writing stories based on the Just So Stories so we can create our own books on Pyjamarama day. We also had a fantastic Science lesson where the children set up their own investigation to see which materials are soluble in a liquid. Predictions were made and observations recorded. The children loved this practical science activity.

Year 3 Latest News
Fri 07 May 2021On Tuesday, Year 3 had a really exciting enrichment day all about the Romans with an outside provider called Partake! In the morning, we looked at and identified Roman artefacts that had been excavated by archaeologists. We also wrote on Roman tablets, built Roman arch bridges, played Roman games and made some colourful mosaics. In the afternoon, we learnt how the Romans dressed and what a Roman soldier wore to battle. Summer and Conor in 3W modelled the Roman outfits and Jack C and Lily did the same in 3M. The final activity consisted of using real Roman shields to walk through a Roman battle formation whilst barbarians threw rocks at them. We had a really exciting day and learnt a lot about Ancient Rome! Please check out the website for photos of all the children.

Year 4 Latest News
Fri 07 May 2021We have had a busy week in y4. We have been mastering the 24 hour clock, competing in a blindfolded egg and spoon race and debating whether school uniform should be banned! There were lots of fantastic arguments for and against this which resulted in some very effective persuasive letters. In topic, we used the clues and artefacts that were discovered at Sutton Hoo, to decide who might have been buried there. Great detective work!

Thu 06 May 2021Although this has been a shorter week, it has still been a busy week. We have been using protractors in Maths to measure angles, we have studied parts of the Jungle book and Just So Stories both by Rudyard Kipling and we have learned about Scottish celebrations. In PE, Mr Tivey set up a cross country course that was rather exhausting. We are looking forward to setting up some investigations in Science in the next few weeks.

Year 6 Latest News
Thu 06 May 2021In preparation for our Year 5 and 6 performance, we have started watching the Lion King in school. I can't believe there are some children who have not seen it before! Auditions for acting roles are underway and all the children are very excited. In our DARE sessions, we have been learning about peer pressure and strategies for staying strong and not giving in to it.

Fri 30 Apr 2021Another week has flown by. This week, we have written a balanced argument about why we think it is or is not a good idea to go and explore unchartered territories, having learned about Jossi Ghinsberg last term. We have also located physical and human features a little closer to home in Scotland. We loved seeing how our batiks turned out in art and evaluated them. We are looking forward to finding out more next week.

Year 6 Latest News
Fri 30 Apr 2021We have had our second DARE session in Year 6 this week. Despite touching on some delicate subjects, everyone is listening and contributing well. We even have DARE question boxes which some of the children have decorated and they now look fantastic. In PE, we have been practising different sports day events. Space hoppers in the rain was certainly interesting and a little entertaining! Hope you have a lovely bank holiday weekend.
