Woodpeckers have had great fun learning about magnets in Science this week. They have learnt that magnets can attract and repel things. In Art they are continuing with their Egyptian designs, and this week prepared their books in preparation for work next week. Watch this space!

Wagtails had great fun today learning all about the value of money in maths. We played lots of games to help the children count and add money. We also found it really useful to order and identify different coins. It was great to see everyone involved and enthusiastic about learning. 

Thank you so much to all the adults who were able to attend our writing cafe last week. It was wonderful to see so much imagination being sparked and how engaged the children were with their writing. Some of the poetry that came out afterwards was wonderful. We hope you found it an enjoyable experience!

Our Year 5’s that have travelled to Boughton Woods are having a great time. Today they have been den building, playing games around the campfire and collected wood for the BBQ to cook their burgers!

Woodpeckers had a lovely morning writing with their families. They used their senses to write a poem. Thank you to everyone that came. The children really enjoyed it.

Woodpeckers have started a new topic on databases in their computing lessons. This week, they had to sort fruits by asking each other questions. They had to think of questions which only gave a yes or no answer. Next week they will be adding these questions to Purple Mash.

With the nice weather this week the children have being doing lots of outside learning.  Some children learnt how to ride the on the  balance bikes.

Amongst a lot of revision and past papers ready for the SATs, Year 6 have also been taking part in lots of fun activities since the Easter break: last week, they went wild for a visit from Ark Farm and created some interesting abstract materpieces with clay in Art! Pupils have also enjoyed learning about the Impact of WW2 on Britain in History and The Internal Structure of the Heart in with Mr. Jackson in Science.

Robins Class had a wonderful time petting the animals from Ark Farm and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Wagtails had a wonderful time this week visiting the farm! The children met lots of animals, including sheep, dogs and cows, and had a great time looking for minibeasts and pretending to be cattle! Highlights were the tractor and trailer ride, playing in the fields and stroking the baby lambs! 

Woodpeckers thoroughly enjoyed their visit to Scald End Farm this week. They got to meet farmers Tom and Hazel, and learn about life on a farm. They saw lots of animals including sheep, cows, a horse and a bull named Phil! Fvourite parts of the day included a tractor trailer ride and getting to stroke baby lambs.

Before the Easter holiday, Woodpeckers completed some fantastic artwork in the style of Yellena James. They created watercolour backgrounds before using a range of media to create designs inspired by nature.

They also came to the end of their topic on Rainforests. The topic finished with discussions on threats to the rainforests and ways we can help to protect them. The children then designed posters to raise awareness of the issues.

Woodpeckers have had a very busy week. In Geography they have been using map symbols to identify features of the local area. In Maths they have been investigating fractions through lots of practical activities.

Wrens have been learning about the parts of plants in science. First of all they looked closely at a plant and then labelled the roots, stem, leaves, flowers and petals. They learnt about the function of each part and why it is important. 

Year 4 enjoyed a visit from Ark Farm. Pupils got to see, stroke, and pet a range of animals, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

On Friday, we had a visit from Ark Farm. The children loved meeting the animals.

A giant metal figure appeared on our playground this week, and we can now reveal it is the Iron Man! This term, Year 4 will be diving into the epic classic by Ted Hughes to discover his story. Keep your eyes peeled for more signs of our mysterious visitor!
