The children in Nursery always have so much fun playing with each other and exploring all the provision on offer to them. It's so joyous to see such smiling faces all day long! 

Today we used the chrome-books to create a food chain using shapes. We then used our knowledge and skills to create an information slide about an underwater predator!

Year 5 have been sharing their writing with their friends and peers. We talked about all of the positives which made us feel great! 

Head over to the video resource centre and listen to Mr Hasler read you a story!

Most of us take the skill of writing for granted. Ask yourself the question, ‘When and how did I learn to write?!’ It’s a difficult question for adults to answer!

Our children have started their life-long writing journeys over the last few weeks in the EFYS. From mark-making to ‘messaging’, secret-symbols to letter formation, all of the children have shown a real interest in starting to make their mark at school!

As part of our learning journey, the children worked together to create a mini-beast dance. They explored how they felt different mini-beasts would move and then created a dance based upon the life cycle of a butterfly. 

They came up up with some fantastic moves, thinking about pace, levels, shape and direction. 

I was was blown away by some of the children’s creativity. Check out the photos and don’t forget to ask the children to show you some of the moves!!

Today, we have been learning how to present the results of an investigation into our heart rates during exercise using google sheets to create graphs.

Today in our PE session, we focused on applying all our skills acquired from the sessions this half term: our agility, speed and team work. We played Treasure Island and Run the 

Gauntlet, which stretched us and demanded our very best. Indeed, we were so fast, Miss Bellamy struggled to capture us in motion.... we were as fast as a gazelle being chased. Take a look at the evidence. 

As we near the end of the half term, our winning class this week is the...

Year 6 Sycamores! 

That's a two week winning streak for this class. Can they take the final week and bring home the half term win..? Check back next week to find out!
