Today Year 6 worked in small groups to work through six clues to unlock a 6 digit code in order to leave the room for their lunch. The challenges ranged from problem solving about angles to cracking a code with positive and negative numbers. Our victors were Evie, Matilda, Reiss and Eva who will win a prize.

Year 5 and 6 took part in a workshop, exploring how boys and girls can be good allies to each other, to help reduce the levels of harmful behaviours and violence against women and girls in society.

It aims to help level the playing field for boys and girls by showing each other equal respect, and boys calling out harmful behaviour and attitudes. It was very powerful and emotive. 

Year 6 have now had two workshops with our Mental Health Practitioner on wellbeing and exam stress. We have learned different techniques on reducing stress and managing our wellbeing. We talked about how sleep, a balanced diet, exercise and hobbies help us to stay healthy. 

Year 4 thoroughly enjoyed being scientists today. The children had the opportunity to experiment to see how different foods affect their teeth. The children were organised into 10 groups and placed boiled eggs into different substances. They were able to predict what they thought would happen to the egg over a week and we are set up to observe the results, checking their hypothesis along the way. 

Year 4 started their first lesson in sprinting today. They were eager to get warm on this cold morning and thoroughly enjoyed their group sprinting activities. Well done Year 4. 

Year 4 is up and ready for the children to learn about Rivers, Mountains and the Water Cycle. 

Summer 1

PE days are Tuesday and Thursday. Outdoor PE kits please.

We are very much looking forward to teaching this half term's theme all linked to WW2. Of course history will be the main subject. Our English diary writing and newspaper writing will be enhanced by our historical knowledge.

Attached are our MTP and Home Learning Grid for children to complete and share.

Welcome back to Summer 1 which is a short but busy term!    Our topic is “Who were the Anglo Saxons?” and we have many fun activities planned to explore how this ancient civilisation have influenced our lives today.

This term our topic question is 'Skellig: is it a bird or mythical creature?' We will read David Almond's 'Skellig' and look at how animals and plants are classified scientifically. We will link this to our geography learning looking at how animals and plants are adapted to live in desert conditions.

Please see the attached overview of our topics this term. Also find the home learning grid for additional activities which can be completed at home.
