The Purple Pig Farm came to school to visit EYFS. We really enjoyed learning about all the animals and we all had a chance to hold a tiny chick.
EYFS had a great session with the County Cricket team. We learnt lots of different skills and finished the session with a game of cricket.Â
We all had a great time at Forest Schools and really enjoyed using the rope swing for the first time.

In Year 1 we have been learning about the work of Jane Goodall in our Science topic. We made binoculars and used one of our super science skills, ‘observing over time’ to make observations of apes.Â
Children in Year 1 have been inspired by Monday assemblies and their learning about caring for the planet in RE to go on a litter pick in their local area. We’re really proud of Sophie and Joni for using their initiative and taking action.
In Art this term we have been investigating using different brush sizes and adding texture to paintings. We used our new skills to paint these beautiful pictures of fish.
In Science we carried out an experiment to see how much salt we needed to add to water to make different objects float.

Namaste! 2MC are really enjoying working on their flexibility and stretching in their yoga sessions.

History
We have been learning about Vikings as sailors, raiders, traders, settlers, farmers and crafters. This week, we focused on the role of trade – swapping something you have plenty of for something you have less of. The children were given a limited supply of items and a target to meet before being allowed to barter and trade freely with other groups. It was a really effective way to get across the importance of trade – some groups were left without enough basic supplies while others became very rich!
Science
We have been learning about three states of matter – solid, liquid and gas – as well as their properties. Here, the children are observing melting of ice. We have also played around with compressing and producing gases

Last week we carried out some fieldwork in Geography. We asked members of the public some questions about the leisure facilities in their local area. We used this information to compare it with what people do in the Alps.We were so impressed with how confident they all were approaching people and asking questions. Well done Year 5!
We practised an oracy skill while presenting the information we found out from our fieldwork earlier in the week. We had to project our voice to an audience and make sure that we were heard. We also had to sound like an ‘expert’! We have some fantastically loud voices for an audience in our classes and some confident experts!
This week, we arrived to find a rucksack filled with the items in the photo. We asked questions about who the items might belong to and what they might be for. The diary entry told us that the man planned to walk out across a tightrope between the Twin Towers. We then had a go at tightrope walking!

We used drama to fuel our creative juices for independent complaint letter writing. The children acted out a meal scene where they were horribly disappointed with the food and received terrible service from the staff. This has sparked some excellent letter writing!
There’s no better way to understand 3D shape than to make some!!! Great maths revision!
In Geography, we have been learning about the locations, features and uses of deserts as well as thinking about what might threaten their future. It is amazing to think that both the Sahara and Antarctic are classed as deserts!Â
