Hedgehog Awareness Week runs from 30th April to 6th May 2023 is organised by the British Hedgehog Preservation Society and takes place every year. It aims to highlight the problems hedgehogs face and how you can help them. Please see the link below.
On Thursday 27th April we will be joined by Manchester based poet Matt Goodfellow. He will perform some of his poems in assembly and during poetry workshops throughout the day. The children thoroughly enjoyed working with him last year and I am sure they will create some amazing poetry with him again next week.
Please ask your child to share their poetry with you on Thursday.

This half term we are exploring the question Can you survive in the woods? We will be exploring a variety of traditional fairy tales, in particular Little Red Riding Hood. The children will then write their own twisted version of Little Red Riding Hood from the Wolf’s point of view. We will be designing waterproof shelters, building and evaluating their effectiveness. We will also be going on a nature walk in our local community (Gorse Hall) and printing with leaves to create decorative patterns and works of art that capture the beauty of nature.

Today, the children have been using Scratch Jr on the ipads in small groups to create simple algorithms. The children started the lesson by choosing a Sprite and a suitable backdrop. The children then explored some basic algorithms to get their sprite to move. The children were given s challenge to get their Sprite to move to create different shapes. The children took notes of the different algorithms that worked which they can refer back to next lesson.The children have also explored adding another Sprite and got both of their Sprites to move and have a conversation.
