The Reading Ambassadors have hidden Wally around the school. If you find a Wally on the wall take him off and hand it to your teacher to win a certificate from Miss Harvey.
Can you spot Wally?

Year 6 have been practising different basketball techniques over the last couple of weeks. We have looked at using a chest pass, bounce pass and overhead pass. We have practised different dribbling skills and how to pivot when passing in a different direction. We have started to play mini matches which we really enjoyed yesterday.

Congratulations to Sam and all of year 6 this week for being our stars of the week.
The whole class were so impressive during our evolution workshop this week. I am so proud of how much you have remembered and for your enthusiasm during the workshop.
Sam asked some thoughtful questions and really immersed himself in the workshop - I could tell how much you enjoyed this Sam.
Lucy won our Handwriting Award this half term- she has been working really hard in her additional handwriting lessons to write more fluent, joined-up writing. Keep this up Lucy.

We loved getting our hands on the fossils yesterday in our workshop. We became naturalists: classifying, measuring, sorting and counting the fossils in various ways. The megalodon tooth and mammoth hair were fascinating. We were not too sure about the coprolite- dinosaur poo!
Thank you so much to Mr Birchall and his son from Balestra Workshops for such a fun, informative day!

What a jam-packed morning we have had in year 6. We have looked at the theory of evolution by natural selection and discussed how animals. including humans, have evolved. We played a game of 'survival of the fittest'. We revised the scientific names for part of the skeleton and discovered we could fir approximately 7 bean bags into a human skull. We took part in some circuit activities to look at how humans have stamina- which makes us different from apes.
We can't wait to be palaeontologists this afternoon exploring fossils.

This week year 6 had to use their investigative skills to piece together some clues presented to them about our next English unit of work. The clues included: binoculars, string, a fossil, sand, a map, a footprint and some leaves.
What do you think could have happened?
