This week in nursery we have collected sticks to design and make magic wands. We have used a little bit of magic to create them and used the magic word Abracadabra!

Year 3 looked at the art work by the Japanese artist Hokusai. They used watercolours to create background washes and used oil pastels to create pictures of disasters.

These photos show children practising using oil pastels.

Year 4 have started their first steps into short multiplication. They have been using their multiplication and place value knowledge to partition and multiply numbers together.  Look at their fantastic work. 

Year 4 are getting quite expert at playing their penny whistles. Today, they have continued to practise their notes, learn new songs, analyse rhythms and play along to Hallelujah and When the Saints go Marching in. We even sang one of my favourite song today- Mr Blue Sky by ELO. 

Thank you to the families who joined us for our book look. We are very proud of the hard work our pupils are doing everyday - we are pleased you are too. There will be another opportunity soon. 

Last night, Year 4 parents came to look at their children's books. Have a read of the lovely reponses they left for their children. What a fantastic positive evening. Thank you everyone for coming. 

Have a read of our wonderful newspaper reports about the missing lighthouse men from the Flannan Isles. The children worked really hard to ensure the features were covered and the facts explained. Well done Year 4. 

Today in forest school we have been playing one of the groups favourite games - 1,2,3 Where are you? Then we made spinners and necklaces from wood cookies. 

In our science learning this week year 6 have been learning about the circulatory system. We started by role playing how the circulatory system works by pumping oxygenated blood to the body to every living cell through the arteries. The blood carries nutrients, oxygen and water. Once the oxygen has been distributed this now deoxygenated blood is pumped back to the heart through the veins. The heart then pumps this blood back to the lungs to receive more oxygen. This process is repeated again and again. The children were very good at acting this out.

A huge well done and thank you to Chloe for doing litter picking in our community in her own time. What a superstar you are! Keep making us proud Chloe and helping to keep our environment safe and healthy.
