Welcome back to Spring 2 which is a short but extremely busy term!    Our topic is “Who were the Anglo Saxons?” and we have many fun activities planned including an educational visit to Tatton Park for an Anglo Saxon Day!  This will take place on Tuesday 14th March and promises to be a trip to remember!

 Year 5 enjoyed the first session of their new focus in PE today - OAA.  Their task was a team building challenge where they had to demonstrate agility, balance, coordination and precision.  They had to use non-verbal communication to solve a problem - to get into alphabetical order by surname, all on the bench, without stepping off!  They were only allowed to use hand gestures - no talking or mouthing! All of the teams were impressive - they put their dictionary skills to great use!  Well done everyone!  Mrs Blomeley 

Well done to our reading champion from last half term and to our runners up XW and AT.  Keep up the fabulous home reading everyone!

Today in Science, the children were given a number of seeds and bulbs on their table and were asked to have a look at them and discuss what they notice about them. The children then completed a matching activity where they had to match the different seeds with the plants. The children learnt a lot of new names of seeds and plants. Why not quiz them and find out about their fantastic knowledge?

Year 4 had a fantastic time practising drawing faces yesterday. They then used their new skills to draw a portrait of Henry VIII wives. Look at how accurate they were with the proportions of their facial features. Some excellent portraits,well done Year 4.

Spring 2 is going to be robotic- an exciting themed half term based on the book 'The Iron Man by Ted Hughes'.

Have a look at the Medium Term Plan attached to see all the curriculum learning that will take place.

Year 3 will take part in a lego workshop (see this website for more details- https://www.juniorstem.co.uk/ ). During the workshop children will make a model and control this using an ipad.

Spring 2- is a very exciting theme based on the text 'The Iron Man' by Ted Hughes.

Children explore adverts and persuasive writing. They have  a workshop by Legostem where they make their own robots and connect them to the ipad to control the robot and make it more. (see this website for more details  https://www.juniorstem.co.uk/  )

Take  a look at our MTP to find out more.

We have shared the Home Learning Grid and look forward to seeing children's work on Seesaw.

The children had a fantasic time taking part in the Ready Steady Read with Emma Perry.  They loved pretending to be grumpy for one story and then enjoyed listening to the author Emma Perry reading out her new stories.

This half term we are learning all about Spring and Little Red Riding Hood.

Please find attached our medium term plan and home learning grid for anyone wanting to do some additional learning.
