Yesterday we experimented using chocolate how to replicate the formation of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. We had a lot of fun.

A big well done to the Year 3 and 4 girls for competing in a futsal festival this evening. It was many of the girls first time representing school and although some were a little nervous at the start, their confidence really increased throughout the tournament. The girls showed fantastic teamwork and cheered each other one with lots of chanting and singing. Thank you to our Year 6 Game Changers who also came along this evening and helped to coach the futsal teams.
Amazing job girls!

We have loved No Pens Day in year 3 today. We discussed non verbal methods of communication and how Morse code is used. We then created our own secret words in Morse code.
Year 5 popped in to see if they could uncover the code as part of their secret spy mission.

One of year 3's oracy targets this half term is to play the opinion continuum. We looked at different statements and decided if we agreed, disagreed or were somewhere in the middle. We then used our speaking skills to explain why.
Many children agreed that children should get to stay in bed until 10 every morning.
Most children disagreed that banana milkshake was disgusting.
We had mixed reactions to whether children should have 30 minutes of screen time each day.

It was lovely to see so many children joining in with show and tell today for No Pens Day. I loved seeing all of their special items.
On Friday, we were awarded the Equal Access Award by the FA for ensuring our school has the same opportunities for boys and girls in football. Well done to Greenside and Manchester Road who also picked up the same award.
