Year 6 have amazed us with their fantastic home learning over the Easter holidays. They have been researching plants and animals that have adpated to live in deserts across the world. They then either produced a desert biome model or an information booklet which they then shared with the rest of the class. You all seemed to really enjoy this task and your enthusiasm was very evident when sharing your favourite or most interesting facts with us. 

The work has been displayed in the year 6 classroom or in our library area.

Well done to everbody for joining in.

Today Year 1 have had a busy morning trying lots of fruit from our Handa's Surprise story. Although we thought the avocado was disgusting, we tried some new fruits that we really liked. We thought of los of excellent adjectives to describe the different fruits too. 

Year 3 have enjoyed learning about earth day and have shared fabulous ideas on how we can all help save the earth. They used the computer to create posters and are using their science knowledge of plants to explain how we needs to plant trees for oxygen.
Faye said that she was going to pick up litter on Gorsehall to help the earth. Amelia wanted to plant more trees.

In our class we have 4 families with electric cars. By 2030, all cars could be electric so year 3 by then will be old enough to drive!!!!

How can we all help save the earth?

Attached is the homework menu for this half term. I cannot wait to see all the fantastic things you do in your home learning. Don't forget to send them in via Seesaw. Who is going to earn a bronze, silver or gold medal this half term?

Our new topic in Summer 1 is 'Hot or Cold?' where we will be learning about hot and cold places around the world. We have lots to look forward to including meeting a South Pole Explorer, trying lots of tropical fruit and a postcard from a lost penguin. For more information about the topic, see the document below. 

We have had lots of fun learning about plants this half term. We planted our own runner beans and they grew really tall! We were so impressed when we could see the roots in the soil and when we measured our plant each week to see if it had grown. We enjoyed exploring the school grounds looking for different types of flowers and spotting evergreen and deciduous trees.

Year 1 and 2 had an Easter parade to show their fantastic entries to the Easter bonnnet and Easter egg competition. Well done to everyone who took part, it was so hard for us to choose the winners!

A special well done to our winners Lily, Henry, Dominic and Austin. 

Year 1 have been busy in Spring term doing lots of cooking. We have made pancakes, cheese sandwiches, jam sandwiches and Easter nests. We wrote some fantastic instructions to explain how we had made them.
