We have been challenging ourselves to ride two wheeler bikes. We are doing really well!

Year 5 have been learning about Earth and the Solar System this term.  They were given a task to create chalk pictures of the planets, making sure they were drawn to scale and placed in their position in relation to the Sun.  The childlren have learnt a mnemonic to help them remember this information: My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming (planets).  Mars, Venus, Earth, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.  The class demonstrated great team work (look how many children helped to make the Sun) and also had great fun. The results were very impressive.  Well done Year 5!

Year 2 have had a fantastic pirate day today! They really enjoyed sharing their learning in the class assembly so a big thank you to everyone who came to watch. After the assembly we went on a treasure hunt outside and found lots of golden doubloons. We also decorated some pirate biscuits and danced to pirate music. A very busy but enjoyable pirate day!

Year 2 have loved reading all of the pirate topic books in their reading corner.  Lots of children brought in books from home or made pirate books to share with the other children.  It is fantastic to see so many keen readers!

All of the children in Year 4 have been working very hard this half term to learn their multiplication tables. They have thoroughly enjoyed knowing, learning and applying their time tables facts to fractions and divsion calculations. What an important skill this is, keep up all the hard work Year 4.

Teachers, pupils and parents all agreed that Year 5's Exploring Europe assembly was fabulous! Where else would you find Albert Einstein, J. K. Rowling and the Pope in one place?  Following the assembly family members visited Year 5's classroom to pit their wits on some quizzes about Europe that the children had created.  We had baby cousins, brothers, mums. dads,  grandads, grandmas and even a great grandma!  We all enjoyed it as you can see from our photographs!  A huge thank you to everyone who came.  

As part of their topic this term, EXPLORING EUROPE! Year 5 have been busy buiding some famous landmarks from around Europe.  These include the famous Eiffel Tower in France, the iconic and ancient buildings of the Colosseum in Italy and the Parthenon in Greece, to one of the world's most prestigious football venues - the Santiago Bernebau Stadium.  Two groups decided to build some lesser known buildings; the Palace of Culture and Science, Poland's tallest building and St.

Our topic is about robots. Our creative homework has involved making our own robot and writing about it.  We have also been bringing in our toy robots from home. We are aiming to do an I-motion video with movable parts.   

We love learning outside.  We have had fun playing a variety of maths games which have tested our addition skills, number recognition skills and recording skills.
