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.

Agnes (our Diversity Governor) came into Year 6 today to share the journey of chocolate from the plantations to the supermarket. The children were very enthused to learn about the lives of plantation children and had some very inciteful questions. 

A mysterious briefcase has been delivered and we found a secret code in it! We deciphered the code using a cipher wheel which revealed a secret mission.

Year 5 are revising numbers to 20, days of the week and feelings in Polish today. 

Welcome back everyone!

I hope you all had a lovely half term.

This term we will be learning all about Space and celebrating Fabulous Festivals. Please see below for our Medium Term Plan and Home Learning Grid (this is optional).

Today we have discussed the firework code and how to enjoy Bonfire Night safely. The children have designed colourful posters with super safety tips.
