Today, the children have worked collaboratively to help one another in measuring angles accurately using a protractor. They became very competitive in proving that they had the most accurate measurement.

The children have worked hard at home to produce some fantastic pieces of topic homework for our topic: Around the World in 80 days.

This week, the children have started to bring in their projects for their topic homework and I have been very impressed with the quality of them.

Children, remember your 2 pieces of homework are due in on Monday 1st April.

This week, the children had a visit from the Co-op and they came to talk to the children about the importance of Fair Trade. We learnt that without Fair Trade, the farmers (who grow the produce) actually receive the smallest amount of money compared to the shops and the transport needed to get it…

After learning about endangered animals in Africa, the children created their own silhouette collages with chalk and black card.

This week, the children are enjoying another SAW week (science, art and writing) with the theme of Space. Yesterday, the children used mod roc to construct their own aliens. They firstly used a plastic bottle and newspaper to form the basic shapes, followed by covering the whole structure in mod…

This week, the children have been creating shared poems using inspiration from our Power of Reading text ‘Shackleton’s Journey’. They have included verses about what the crew could see, hear and feel as they made their way across the Weddell Sea. The standard and quality of the children’s poems…

Today, the children finished their Japanese paintings and I think they look amazing!

The children have been using components to build their own circuits. They were given diagrams of circuits which they then had to work together to build to see if the circuit was complete.
