Japanese artwork
Today, the children finished their Japanese paintings and I think they look amazing!
Heating Update
As you know, we have two major leaks under the floor in the lower school which has caused our heating system to shut down. I understand the huge impact school closure has upon parents and so made the decision to buy heaters for classrooms to keep the school operational. These have, however, not…
Den Building – Phase 1!
There was some great teamwork today, in the wildlife area, as we began making our willow den. Joe in particular had some serious mallet skills!
Classifying living things
In science this week, we have been looking at classification so we went outside to see how many plants and animals we could identify. You would be surprised how many things we found!

This week, as part of our ‘Super Human’ topic, we learned all about our sense of smell. We were all given a cotton bud with a certain scent. We had to identify what our scent was, and then try to find members of our ‘scent family’ who had the same scent! In the end, we managed to group ourselves…
Using our sense of smell!
Today we had lots of fun using our sense of smell to locate our smelly partner!!
The children each had a different scent on a cotton bud, they had to sniff their scent, guess what it could be then spend time sniffing everyone else’s scent to find their smelly partner.

Very poetic!
Today, the children worked with their learning partners to produce a poem like the one we had read from ‘Tales told in Tents’. If you ask me, ours are better!
All about the brain!

Did you know………..?
Jayden said, ” Our brain works like a computer because it holds all of our important memories”
Hannah said, ” Your brain is protected by your skull, which is made up of 22 bone”

Tidy up!
This week, we decided to tidy up our wildlife area before we start on plans to construct a willow den. We could not believe how much rubbish had blown in!
Marvellous Maths!
I have been really impressed with the children this week. We have been finding out about factors, prime and common factors, prime numbers and composite numbers. Children, can you explain to your grown-up what these words mean?
Loving Literacy!
The children are really loving the stories, which we are reading from’Tales told in Tents’. This week we read, ‘The Carpet of Dreams’. The children then had to imagine that they were Arif (the weaver, who dreamed of being a merchant) and they wrote letters home, describing the sights, sounds and…
