Today in Science (Health and hygiene), we investigated the importance of washing our hands correctly. We looked at how quickly germs can spread and where germs come from. The children loved this investigation and I am sure they will tell you all about it! 

We all loved the fitness drumming workshop, it was so much fun!

Reception have been reading Jack and the Beanstalk. We planted our own beans and have been taking good care of them. We have been learning all about what plants need to grow.

We have been planting our new trees that we got from the Woodland Trust. They are very small at the moment but we will look after them and we are looking forward to watching them grow over the next few years.

We have been making some fantastic, creative pictures using the Japanese art of Hapazome (leaf bashing). We found some shiny blue Alder beetles eating the Alder leaves then we did some fishing in the mud pond. 

Year 4 worked ever so hard to ensure their water colour paintings represented Cezanne's Mont Sainte Victoire. They watched a tutorial on brush strokes and outlining before they got the chance to recreate the mountain. What an excellent display they have created. Well done Y 4. 

The girls have loved the first 2 weeks of the Disney Shooting Stars club. They were challenged last week to use junk modelling to make an animal from Lion King or to make some lion ears to wear for this week's session. Can you guess any of the animals they made? Fantastic work everyone!

Keeping healthy in Year 3

Today we focused on jumping in gymnastics. We used the springboard to help us practise star jumps, straddle jumps, pencil jumps, pike jumps and tuck jumps. We also worked in small groups to make a short sequence using jumps and rolls.

Year 6 had a wonderful time during their workshop on Friday. It was fun and exhausting.
