Most of Year 5's summaries of our last topic, "Why should the world's Rainforests matter to all of us?", mentioned how they enjoyed how our classroom changed on a daily basis!  In the end, we all felt like we were living in an actual rainforest, just like the characters in our class text, The Explorer!

Most classes took part in an Art activity during the recent World Maths Day!  It was a great opportunity to investigate different shapes and the children were inspired by artists such as Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky and Piet Mondrian.  Year 4 focussed on M.C. Escher and his infamous tessellations whilst Year 6 included some 3D art into the equation!  Fantastic artwork by everyone!  Mrs Blomeley.

Look at all our fabulous entries to the Easter egg competition! Well done to everyone who took part as there were lots of amazing designs! 

A special congratulations to our class winners this year, Jaiden and Luke, for their eggsellent entries! 

We were lucky enough to have a visit from GB sprinter Andy Robertson who recently won the bronze medal at the European indoor athletics championships. He told us all about his life as an athlete and how he started athletics when he was 8 years old! He answered lots of our questions and even brought his medal in to show us!

Year 4 had lots of fun researching, designing and making their own lighthouses. They used their scientific knowledge from our Science topic on electricity to make their lighthouses light up. Well done everyone!

 Last half term, our Year 3 and 4 pupils loved taking part in disco dodgeball. It was lovely to see many of them representing our school for the first time whilst having fun! Well done everyone! 

Dear  Parents, CarersI do hope you have all had a fantastic Easter break. As you are aware, your Year 6 child's Key Stage 2 tests start on Monday 12th May.  Over the next 13 school days, we will be gap-filling their knowledge and practicing a lot in maths, reading, and SPaG to ensure they are fully prepared. Please continue to support your child with any revision. Alongside our new topic:  Skellig- Is it a bird or a Mythical Creature? we will be locating deserts, classifying living things, and using the story to inspire us in our narrative writing.  Important Dates and Information
