Well done everyone! What a great final topic!

Here is some of the fantastic homework that the children produced.

To end our topic 'Scream Machine', the children were tasked to design and make a drop ride using a pulley system. They then had to test their ride using eggs as passengers. If the eggs broke, then the ride failed - there were a couple of casualties! 

A massive WELL DONE to all the children this week. They have performed their production of Jill and Fred's Most Hysterical Historical Adventure to their grown-ups who all enjoyed it immensely. The acting and singing was superb and everyone worked really hard - well done!

We had a really interesting assembly today from the Dog's Trust. The children found out how to behave safely round their own dogs, as well as dogs they see when they are out and about. They listened really well and learned the importance of staying calm and thinking about how the dog might be…

We had a wonderful day celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee!

We had great fun creating crowns and then we we did a bit of gardening - putting together our 'Evergreen Jubilee Planter'.

The children found out about the beliefs of the Islamic faith and produced some amazing fact pages about the Five Pillars of Islam.

The Star and Crescent have been adopted as the unofficial symbol of Islam. With this in mind, the children created some beautiful Crescent creations!
