Seeds and Plants

Today in Science, the children were given a number of seeds and bulbs on their table and were asked to have a look at them and discuss what they notice about them. The children then completed a matching activity where they had to match the different seeds with the plants. The children learnt a lot of new names of seeds and plants. Why not quiz them and find out about their fantastic knowledge?


Tudor Portraits

Year 4 had a fantastic time practising drawing faces yesterday. They then used their new skills to draw a portrait of Henry VIII wives. Look at how accurate they were with the proportions of their facial features. Some excellent portraits,well done Year 4.

World Book Day Events

This week we celebrate World Book day on Thursday. During the week, we have lots of fun reading and book events taking place. Each class will have story time swaps where a different adult from the school will come to read them a story. Each class will make books to be displayed in their library making every child an author!. On Thursday Years 4-6 will take part in a football themed reading quiz. All children may bring in their favourite books, comics or magazines to read on Thursday. On Friday you may choose to dress up as your favourite character- I can't wait to see who you come as.
