Super Scientists!

As part of our science topic, Light and Shadows, Year 3 have been investigating which materials would be the best for keeping us safe and visible at night time!

We tested a range of materials to see if they were reflective or not. Some materials we tested were not great; others were reflecting the light back or scattering the light in different directions. This meant these materials would be better at helping us to be visible at night time!

We ordered the materials from most reflective to least and made a decision on which to use for our new high-viz jackets! We also had lots of fun being scientists and designers!

Wonderful Writing in Year 3

In year 3 we have been writing the myth of Isis and Osiris in our own words using our best story telling skills and including features such as, speech, adverbials of time, powerful vocabulary, similes and onomatopoeia! Here are some extracts of our wonderful writing! Our teachers are so proud of all our hard work!

WE Org Visitor - working with Funding Raising Group

This morning we had Tracy Lomanga, who is a Speaker and Facilitator from the WE Schools Organisation. Members of our Fundraising Community Partnership Group spent part of this morning with Tracy discussing ideas for the next fundraising event here at school. After brainstorming various ideas the children needed to close their eyes, listen to the suggestions and vote for the idea which they felt was the most worthy.

WE Schools is a unique, four-step program—delivered in more than 14,500 schools across the UK and North America—that challenges young people to identify the local and global issues that spark their passion and then empowers them with the tools to take action.

The WE Schools program provides teachers and students with curriculum-matched lesson plans, educational resources and a full calendar of action campaign ideas. Through WE Schools, students gain an understanding of the root causes of pressing issues like hunger, poverty and poor access to education, and explore what they can do to help. They also plan at least one local and one global action to improve their community and the world.

Congratulations to the children who were recognised today in our Achievement Assembly.

Year 5

Nursery - Teddy Bears' Picnic

We were excited to bring our bears from home, to the teddy bears' picnic in Forest School. We made jam sandwiches which we fed to our teddies. We read a story about a teddy bears picnic and sang lots of different bear songs.

We made two ramps to walk over using natural resources. We needed good balance so we didn't fall off.

Year 3 - AMAZING DINOSAUR HOMEWORK!

We are sad to say goodbye to the fantastic dinosaur boxes that were decorating our classrooms in year 3!

The children worked extremely hard at home to design a shoe box filled with dinosaur wonder! Now that our topic is changing to Egyptians, we have sent them back home for the wall of pride but here they are on the blog to stay! Amazing efforts- thank you parents and children! Take a look for yourselves at all their hard work!
