Our wonderful pupils have been chosen to have brunch with Mrs Parker for being green all term. They have been Ready, Respectful and Safe everyday and we are super proud! Well done. 

Year 6 have learned so much in their basketball lessons with Mr Williams this term. They are very knowledgeable about the rules and different positions and tactics. We finished the topic with some matches today. It will be so easy to pick a team next term. Well done to Sam who won the Sport Star award today. 

Year 3 enjoyed listening to a Zoom about how Jews celebrate an important festival. They listened to the story of Chanukah and in class we looked at the special Jewish objects. 

Year 2 enjoyed cooking damper bread and making s'mores as part of their topic The Great Fire of London. The children made houses based on the wooden ones from Pudding Lane and we found out how quickly the fire can spread from one house to another when they are close together. 

I am super proud of the non- chronological reports that the children have completed this half term. It's been a challenge to write about the geographical features, location and famous landmarks of a country in formal English. However, the children have worked their socks off and produced some fantastic reports. Well done Year 4. 

I've been highly impressed by Year 4's homework this half term. All the children have shared a winter poem and information about a country of their choice. Their speaking and listening skills have really improved because of having to stand up and read in front of the class. I also love our winter trees that the children were challenged to make this week. Good job Year 4. 

All of Year 6 have achieved their Bronze Award for collecting 50 star points. To celebrate they had a class treat today watching a movie with a drink and a snack. Perfect!

Congratulations!
