Calling all year 6 students, parents, family and friends! 

Tomorrow is our cake sale day and we really need to bring as many cakes into school as possible. Anything we raise will go towards something exciting for us! 

So, if possible, please get baking or buying this evening. Thank you all in advance for your delicious treats. 

Please have a look at our 'home learning page' under the Early Years tab on the website where you will find our rhyme of the week and story of the week. Please check in regularly as we will update this each fortnight. 

Year 4s tag rugby focus was attacking versus defending, putting the skills taught and practiced over past few sessions into play. The children had loads of fun playing and it was great to see some excellent skills on show. They are picking up all the rules brilliantly ready for game play.

And so went up a call as we visited the woods after a couple of days of rain. Some people just see mud and mess but not Year 1! We worked as a team to get in and out of the net swing, we explored sorting leaves into groups, the science of water and flow by digging out rivers, the language of capacity when making chocolate soup, the language of height when climbing in and out of the tyres and the science of floating and sinking when we put our bark-boats in the water. We also extended our vocabulary when we used the the words, gloopy, sloppy and stodgy to describe Peppa’s muddy puddle. You really can not beat outdoor learning.

World War II has just broken out. Adolf Hitler is trying to choke the food supply into Britain. His U-boats (untersee boats) are hunting Allied convoys travelling across the Atlantic Ocean which travel as a group trying to protect themselves. The German submarine commanders used periscopes to redirect light from above the surface down to the submarine to spot where the Allied ships were. We explored this combination of science and history with the help of some parent visitors as we made periscopes of our own. 

Reception have been getting creative today. They have been making the characters that they would like to put into their own version of the Bear Hunt story. 

The bad weather doesn't stop the Nursery children ...there's just more fun to be had outside with puddles, spraying water with the water pump (notice the little girl has goggles on - her idea to stop the water getting in her eyes!) and exploring how balls float and move in the water! Wonderful 😊

In SOLE-Science today we learnt about our senses. Did you know that we have five senses that allow us to interpret the world around us. Maybe you could ask your child to name them for you! Also, have a think about when you use your senses in your own lives.

Year 2 have been learning all about the honey bee and the important job they do for our environment. After finding out about the work the busy honey bee carries out, we got to sample some honey on crackers! Yummy!

Now is the time for dividing plants...are your plants too big, do you need to re-home some plants, have you made too many cuttings...if so Nursery and Reception are planning to develop a wildlife garden in our new outdoor area and will happily take them off your hands 😊 Please see Mrs Rose or Mrs Knowles
