An imprompt Freddie Fit session kept Year 4 on their toes today. There are some super fit children in class. Well done Year 4. 

Year 4 were magnificent when they recited Sea Fever by John Masefield in assembly today. They made me very proud with their loud, clear voices and using the mind map to remember the verses of the poem. Brilliant work Year 4. 

Year 3 children really enjoyed a draw a long session with an author and illustrator Steve Antony. Steve shared his book The Qeen's Hat and showed us how to draw different characters from the book. The children drew fantastic picures of the Queen, her dog and the cheeky swan that stole her bag. 

Year 3 enjoyed wearing a crown and pretending to be a Queen or King.

We uploaded the photos and children learnt to edit them, did they make themselves look like the lived in 1952? Could they be a future Queen or King?

Editing photos is regularly done in 2022, we discussed how images can be easilly altered. We also ensured that we had permission before editing anyone else's photos.

The children in reception had a great time in their forest school session this week.  The made some fairy houses and played 1,2,3 Where are you? They also found lots of natural objects and flowers to decorate their bracelets.  Some children even made crowns and magic wands.

This half term in science, Year 3 children have been learning about forces and magnets. The children really enjoyed conducting experiments with magnets. They learnt about magnetic field, sorted objects into magnetic and non-magnetic and tested strength of different magnets. 

A massive well done to our stars of the week. The children were awarded Head Teachers Award for fantastic work in English and Polish. we also had Good to be Green lottery winners and Gold Awards. Great work everybody!

Thursday 19th May was Outdoor Learning Day so year 6 took the opportunity to continue their learning about animal and their habitats in our outdoor environment. The class have been learning about classification keys in science so we used a key to identify different invertebrates. We looked at where the animals were found to identify the preferred living conditions of them.

Please send in any photographs of any other invertebrates that you find at home year 6. 

Congratulations to Jake and Aoife for getting the Good to be Green pencils today- well done. The class certificates went to Holly for her fabulous hard work and Oliver, for his diligence in his work. Well done to all of Year 4 for their brilliant behaviour on our school trip this week too.
