This week, year 2 tasted different types and flavours of biscuits in their DT lesson. They tried biscuits from around the world and discussed which ones they liked. In the next few weeks, the children will be making their own biscuits using their designs. 

Year 4 enjoyed making some great Christmas cards for The Purple Mash festive card comeptition. 

In Reception we have really enjoyed learning about traditional stories and fairy tales. This week we are learning about the story of Little Red Riding Hood. We have enjoyed learning to retell the story and showed off our acting skills!  

In Reception we learned about positional language and used what we had learned to take part in a treasure hunt to find The Gingerbread Man! We had to follow clues to different locations in the playground until we finally found The Gingerbread Man! We were very excited and proud when we found him!

In Reception we have been learning about the properties of triangles and circles. We went on a 'shape hunt' around school to find different examples of triangles and circles in the environment around us. 

This week, Parrots got to meet Paralympian Sean Rose. We had the best time learning how to do different exercises that we can do to keep our bodys fit and healthy. 

The Puffins have enjoyed reading the story of The Tiger Who Came for Tea.  They have acted out the story using story maps, made tigers, made cakes as the tiger ate all the cakes. They have even made shopping lists of what they would need to buy if the tiger came to visit again!

Before we start our busy day we brush our teeth. 

The puffins enjoyed making Diwali cakes today. We melted chocolate, decored with icing sugar and a pretend candle. They all had lots of fun.

This term's art unit has worked alongside the science unit, Earth and space.  It has developed the childrens' skills evaluating images and creating art through various drawing processes, including collagraph printmaking.  It has emphasised the development of pupils' independent artistic skills and their ability to generate, test, and refine ideas in their sketchbooks, leading to their final piece of artwork.

Year 5 had a fantastic trip to the National Space Centre in Leicester.  The children enjoyed the galleries and interactive exhibitions and climbed the space tower that included viewing a rock taken from the surface of the moon.  The highlight of the day was the guided tour of the Solar System in the Sir Patrick Moore Planitarium.

Woodpecker Class thoroughly enjoyed their resilience workshop this week. They thought about ways they could respond and react to different situations. 

Woodpecker Class are so proud of the wonderful work they have been doing in Art and Topic with Cave Art. They looked at outlines of animals and then produced some lovely charcoal birds. This weeek they are enjoying creating wall art of their own and have even been busy playing 'The Stone Age' at playtimes.

This week Puffins are reading the story Room on the Broom.  We are dressing up as witches, flying on our broom sticks and making potions with coloured water.

A fun week to end the term.

Wagtails have used porridge oats to  recreate realistic cave textures in Art lessons ready to paint their stone age art! Watch this space!

Wagtails were lucky enough to attend a mult-sports event last Tuesday.  They participated in various sports including tag rugby and goalball!  What a wonderful way to spend the morning!

Wrens have been interested in learning more about our immediate vicinity. They used Google Earth to locate the United Kingdom, England, Bedford and our school. They then made maps of the classroom and outside play area to identify different features. 

The children have had a busy week learning about owls and making their own owls with feathers and white paint.

We also had a new canopy put up in the playground.

Year 1 have continued their learning all about our senses. This time they were exploring our sense of taste. They learnt that taste buds are cells on our tongues that allow us to perceive tastes, including sweet, salty, sour, bitter and savoury. The children decided that lemon tasted very sour on its own and was not very pleasant whilst chocolate was a firm favourite amongst most. The class were divided on marmite, either loving it or disliking it intensely!

Wrens have really enjoyed learning all about our senses during science. They have been exploring our sense of smell and trying to describe how different foods smell. They rated each food out of 10, with of course chocolate coming out as having the BEST smell ever!
