We have had a busy couple of weeks in forest school, climbing trees, experimenting with natural colours to make paints, carving and modelling with clay and natural materials and of course den building.

We have been busy in science today investigating different species and why they are endangered. 
We created fact files based on our chosen animal.

We’ve worked so hard on our portal stories based on our class book Leon and the Place Between.

Today we finally completed them and spent time with our proofreading partners to edit and improve our work. 
 

We were looking at some tricky concepts in our maths lesson today but using the manipulatives really helped us.

We used the place value counters to look at adding and subtracting when crossing boundaries. Fantastic maths today.

Wow!

What a fantastic afternoon raising money for MacMillan.

A massive thank you to all those who baked, donated and joined us for tea and cake.

Also, a huge thank you to Year 5 who ran the event - they really stepped up.

Keep your eyes peeled for the reveal of how much was…

With the help of our wonderful PTA volunteers, we have had a lovely afternoon chutney making with the tomatoes we grew over the summer. All children participated in house groups and created some delicious chutneys that will be available soon.

This afternoon we completed a mini beast hunt in forest school.

We then used classification keys to find out their names and whether they were a vertebrate or an invertebrate.

Phunky Foods have been working with Helen today carrying out surveys on healthy snacks.

We shared ideas for healthy snacks and discussed which snacks would be good choices.

Thank you Phunky Foods ambassadors. 

Today we have celebrated International European Day of Languages.

Each group has discovered how to say hello in a different language. Why don’t you ask us to share our new language with you today.

Reception had a fantastic time choosing their first reading challenge book!

I have seen some fantastic learning in class 2 this afternoon.
We have learnt how to classify by creating keys for our class and then for sweets.

We have created sensible questions to split different sweets and had some fantastic scientific conversations.

What a fantastic assembly with Mrs Tyler today!

We looked at the Parable of The Talents and Class 3 dramatised this brilliantly!

We certainly have a school full of talented children. 

Talk to us at home about how this links with this terms value of responsibility.
