Today, the Year 6 had a fabulous visit from the Fire Brigade. They learnt about how to keep themselves safe at this time of year with fire works, Halloween and the consequences of anti social behaviour. This work was a fabulous follow up from the Safe Squad visit in October in supporting the children keeping themselves safe and  making sensible decisions as they are growing up. 

I do hope you've all had a fabulous October holiday, and the children are raring to get cracking for our second term in Year 6. This half term will continue to immerse the children in the expectations of Year 6. I will be explicit in how we can raise standards to ensure the children know what they need to do this year to be secondary school ready. These standards will be interwoven into our work in our second topic of the year- Did we come from apes?

This half term, our topic in Year 4 is 'Can you hear me all the way around the world?' where we will be learning all about sound, captial cities and where countries are in the world. 

Please see the attached topic web for more information about what your child will be learning this half term.

Year 4 have been working really hard in their DT lessons to create Roman mosaics out of clay. They were tasked with creating a mosaic that was 10cm by 10cm so that all the tiles would fit together to create a class mosaic. Which design do you like best?

Well done Year 4!

Well done to the Year 5 and 6 pupils who took part in Nerf Fest last week! They showed fantastic teamwork and great strategy in their games. Amazing job everyone!
