Today has been a record for certificates in Year 4. A massive congratulations to all the children who received the class merit award, the Good to be Green pencils and their silver awards. The class has also earned their class compliments award and a message will be coming out next week about what they have chosen to do for their prize. Well done all of Year 4. 

Year 4 are excited to start our electricity topic next week. It will be launched by the coding electrical workshop of Tuesday. They will be learning all about electrical safety, electrical components, electrical circuits and electrical conductors and insulators. Keep reading our blogs to find out more about our super science topic. 

Today year 6 explored some sources of evidence about the Vikings. They had to examine each source closely to prove some statements found in history books about the Vikings.

We found out that Vikings did not have horned helmets; they settled in towns and villages with farms; they were skilled craftsmen who traded with other parts of the world. 

Great detective work year 6. 

Prior to our science topic about the heart and the circulatory system, year 6 watched a BBC Live lesson today. The children were fascinated to find out how the heart pumps around 6 litres of blood around the body per minute. We found out about how the circulatory system delivers oxygenated and deoxygenated blood around the body. We discovered ways to keep our heart healthy too.

What a great way to introduce our topic. 

Well done to last week's Head-teacher and Good to be Green award winners! Keep up the fantastic work! 

Year 5 enjoyed putting their new inflatable planets of the Solar System to good use yesterday!   As part of their Earth and Space topic, the class were able to identify and order the planets from their position to the Sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.  The Solar System has now taken its residency in the reading corner, together with a motarised version that rotates to bring the planets to life!  

Well done to our first award winners of 2023!  Merits and Good to be Green awards have been given for endless enthusiasm, brilliant Maths work and being Ready, Respectful and Safe!  Bronze certificates and badges have been awarded for achieving 50 star points and Silver awards for 100!  Amazing work everyone!  Mrs Blomeley

Year 3 has started this term with lots of certificates. Head Teacher's Awards were given for brilliant attitude for learning and great work in reading and phonics. Congratulations to our Good to be Green lottery winners. Some children achieved Bronze and Silver Awards. Well done!

Congraulations to our Y6 Stars of the week Rocky and Jenson.  

Rocky has been more attentive in lessons and is starting to complete more tasks in the time set- keep this up Rocky.

Jenson has worked hard in his maths lessons this week and has a good understanding of ratio and fractions. This is tricky so well done Jenson.

Abigail and Alfie achieved the good to be green award for their excellent behaviour and attitude to learning. 

Well done to year 6 who braved the arctic weather this week in their athletics lesson. We were developing our stamina for long distance running and how to control our pace.
