Year 4 have been looking for faces in the trees and using clay to design their own tree faces.  Some children even made their own hedgehogs.  They have had fun balancing on the slackline and climbing trees to see the world from a bird's eye view.

Today, we had a special visitor who came to talk to us and teach us all about the Muslim religion. We learnt that Muslims have 5 things they must do: 1. Believe in Allah (one God) and a special messenger Muhammed. 2. Pray 5 times a day. During prayer, you must take your shoes off, your clothes must be clean, you must wear a hat if you’re a boy and girls must wear a head scarf to cover their hair to be respectful to Allah and finally face Allah’s house. 3. Visit Allah’s house and wear two white sheets of cloth and walk around Allah’s house 7 times anti-clockwise. 4.

Year 1 have been working very hard this week. A big well done to those who got the head teachers awards and the good to be green pencils. 

Year 1 had lots of fun on Polish Day. We learnt about where Poland is and how to say good morning in Polish. We made Poland flags and Polish folk art using wax crayons. Trying the Polish food was the best bit. We loved the chocolate, bread and sausage but weren't too sure on the Polish cheese. Finally we learnt to sing Baby Shark in Polish and were amazed to find it had the same tune even though it was in a different language. 

We had lots of fun learning about reflection and investigating mirrors today. First we found out how mirrors are made and how they work. Then we played a game where our partner pretented to be a mirror and copied our actions. We also wrote our names and used mirrors to create their mirror reflection. 

Our finished, whole class, traditional Polish pattern. Well done everybody, it looks brilliant

Thank you for all your donations and support raising money for Macmillan. We will confirm the final amount once the last of the cakes are sold this week. Thank you and well done to everyone. Thank you to Mrs Butler and Mrs Lynch for their hard work with this.

Well done to the children in Year 5 who received this week's Head Teacher's and Good to be Green awards for their amazing work and outstanding behaviour!  We are very proud of all of you.  Mrs Blomeley

In our Science lesson on Monday we conducted an experiment to test which materials reflect light best. We noticed that smooth, shiny surfaces such as polished metals and mirrors reflect light well. 

Is there a better way to start a Friday than to spend some time in the library with a book?

The children are also enjoying using their library slots to catch up with their reading on getepic.
