Design Technology in Year 2.

Designing ships -  together children designed their own pirate ships. They carefully made their ships and then tested them to see if the ship would float!

Children were so proud of their designs - future designers and ship builders! Or maybe future pirates! 

Fundamental movements in P.E. Year 2 very energetic this morning taking part in throwing, catching and dodging the ball.

Today for Wellbeing Wednesday Year 3 joined a Draw with Rob session to make these funky frogs.

Today, the children re-enacted the exciting scene from "The Explorer", where the characters discovered a pineapple AND a sloth!  They named the sloth Abacaxi, which we also discovered means "pineapple" in Portugese.  The children loved showing off their acting skills and did an amazing job!  We have some budding thespians in Year 5!  Mrs Blomeley

Year 5 imagined they were characters from our class text "The Explorer" today!  They tasted a variety of fruits that they might have to eat if they were trapped in the Rainforest, left to their own devices!  Their overall favourite was pineapple, followed by Sharon fruit, which they described as "sweet as popcorcm".  Their least favourite fruit were the figs!  A big thank you to Mrs Hallam who helped to cut and slice the fruit for us all to share!  Mrs Blomeley

Year 3 have started their Polish lessons with Miss Laitl. Today they learned some greetings and enjoyed practising with their partner. 

Our fabulous Wellbeing Leaders met today to look at new positive messages for our pupils. They are going to set a new sticker competition in a whole school assembly. First they are designing their own, to show the school. 

Today year 3 had a go at being structural engineers making and then testing different shaped structures to test their stability. We will use our research to help us design our earthquake proof buildings in DT.

Following our certifcates. We also received excellent feedback:
