Year 3 have started to use Scratch for coding. We have explored adding sprites and backdrops with different commands. I think we enjoy adding lots of sounds the most. 

The class used atlases and the continents song to identify where the 7 continents are on a world map. In addition, they labeled the rainforests around the world and the three lines on the map. 

Year 6 are working with Year 1 to help improve the fluency of their reading. They are thoroughly enjoying being a support reader and really look forward to their time with their partner. Great work Year 6. 

For Wellbeing Wednesday year 3 coloured some mindful capabaras whilst watching some soothing ocean scenes. A lovely relaxing way to start our Wednesday. 

After creating their mark-making tools, they experimented with them using paint to see what types of shapes would form on paper. 

Year 5 went outside to search for potential mark-making tools within nature. They found items such as sticks, leaves and grass. With the items, they created amazing mark-making tools!

Year 4 have had lots of fun playing in the snow this week! They loved building snowmen and having snowball fights! 

This morning, Year 1 arrived at school to discover something very unusual… mysterious footprints had appeared! The children were full of excitement and curiosity as we began to wonder what creature or animal could have made them. We are now eagerly awaiting some CCTV footage to see if anything was spotted around the school.

Today we practised dribbling with a basketball and learnt about a triple threat position, what a double dribble is, what travelling is and how to pivot. We also practised intercepting the ball whilst someone else was dribblimg it. We then played bench basketball.
