We celebrate National Poetry Day on Thursday 1st October in school. Our Librarians have launched a new competition. Children in years 1-6 can illustrate a picture of their favourite poem or send in a photograph/video of themselves reading their favourite poem. Send this into your class teacher who will forward to Miss Harvey and the Librarians to choose a winner on Friday 9th October. Please see attached flyer with information. 

The pupils did an investigation to understand why the moon appears to change shape at different times of the month. We used a torch to represent the sun and a white ball to represent the moon. We have learnt that as the moon orbits the Earth, the sunlight hits the moon in different places throughout the month. 

The Year 6s got to feel what it was like to be sentenced to hard labour in a Victorian Prison today. 

We are halfway through writing our Spy Stories and are learning how to identify SPaG features in our own writing by analysing and highlighting with crayons. The pupils had a chance to read other children's work; they even offered some helpful writing tips to each other!

It's lovely to see the smile on the pupils' faces when they play tag rugby games and practise improving their passing techniques. 

Year 6 started the day off being active with our rugby lesson. Regardless of the rain, we managed to practise lots of skills.

We explored Maths Frame today which has so many fun games to help us with our maths learning. Login information for this is in reading records if you would like to play at home. 

We played some fun games to learn our spellings yesterday and we got to use gel pens!

The horse chestnut trees have arrived for planting around the school grounds. Year 2 are going to have some fun planting these 25 saplings during Forest School. 

Year 5 was set a challenge to match as many countries to their capital cities around the world. It certainly was a challenge!
