Great work Y6 this week. Well done to all our winners. 

Intranet legends were looked at in Year 2 and children discussed Online Safety- The importance of not clicking on things online unless we know it's safe was reinforced.

Children designed their own Intranet Legend and described their skills- eg. Knowing not to click until you are sure it is safe.

Try this at home, to improve knowledge of how to keep safe online:

We loved dressing up to meet Woolly today.

Check out our awesome hunting skills. We had to try and kill a cave bear, a woolly mammoth or a sabre tooth rider. Niki managed to kill all 3 with only three spears!

We have had so much during our workshop today. We have learned so many new facts about what life was like during the Stone Age. We had a close inspection of some real artefacts including a real woolly mammoth's tusk, hair and lots of real flint. We had a go at being hunter gatherers practising our hunting skills using spears. We then got to meet a wooly rhino in our classroom. Please ask the children what they enjoyed the most and I am sure that they will have lots to share.

Please look through our terrific photos.

I hope you have all had a fabulous October holiday break and the children have been well rested – they’ve really impressed me so far this week! Our topic for Autumn 2 is “Can you crack the code to become a spy?”. The class received a mysterious briefcase that had a coded message inside it. The message contained a secret mission. Who could have possibly delivered it?

Year 5 have been in a zoom meeting with Emily Cunningham in Cornwall to address the question "who looks after the sea?" She shared her experiences with the sea creatures she's worked with from around the world. 

fun fact: Never pee on a jelly fish sting as it makes it worse! Just pour water on it.

Year 5 have been using their communication skills and team work to complete team challenges in PE with our sports coach. 

Year 3 worked collaboratively to research and present a poster about different periods of time of the Stone Age. We found out about the Palaeolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Age times. After they made their time line posters they presented them to the class using their oracy skills. 

Year 2 children enjoyed making lanterns following instructions. Children spoke about how lanterns are used when celebrating Diwali.
