Teachers, pupils and parents all agreed that Year 5's Exploring Europe assembly was fabulous! Where else would you find Albert Einstein, J. K. Rowling and the Pope in one place?  Following the assembly family members visited Year 5's classroom to pit their wits on some quizzes about Europe that the children had created.  We had baby cousins, brothers, mums. dads,  grandads, grandmas and even a great grandma!  We all enjoyed it as you can see from our photographs!  A huge thank you to everyone who came.  

CCTV has caught some robots breaking into a robot factory!!! Year 4 have been writing newspaper articles lnks to robots and solving maths problems involving numbers linked to the robot factory.

This Blog entry has been written by Lucy, Year 4.

Our topic is about robots. Our creative homework has involved making our own robot and writing about it.  We have also been bringing in our toy robots from home. We are aiming to do an I-motion video with movable parts.   

We love learning outside.  We have had fun playing a variety of maths games which have tested our addition skills, number recognition skills and recording skills.

Our topic this half term is winter.  We have been writing our name and tricky words in the snow.  We have loved role playing with the Arctic animals in our winter wonderland. We have been reading stories about winter and have even had a go at writing our own!

Year 2 are loving their new pirates topic! We have received letters and a book from actual pirates but we're not scared as we know they are friendly pirates.  We have also painted our own pirates and we have read lots of pirate stories.  We are now writing our own pirate stories that we hope to read to another class.  We are all very excited about our class assembly on Friday 12th February so we can share everything we have learnt.

Nora the cabin girl has sent us a book all about her that is called 'Mungo and the Picture Book Pirates!'  We have loved reading it so much that we are mapping the story out in pictures and then we will write our own stories.  We worked really well in teams to create our story maps then we told the story to the class using the pictures.

We received a poster for some missing keys and so we went exploring the school grounds to see if we could find them.  The keys were described as large, old and rusty.  After searching everywhere we eventually found some very large, rusty, old keys on the Key Stage 2 playground.  We think the keys might belong to pirates so we have written them a letter to find out!

Today we have been tasting lots of different fruit. We tried oranges, pineapple, blueberries, raspberries, grapefruit, melon and lots more.

 The children used adjectives to describe what they thought the fruit would taste like. The most popular fruit was grapes. The children had

a fantastic session and couldn't wait to eat more.
