Lots of pupils braved the cold on Saturday morning for the first cross country race this year. I was so impressed with the sportsmanship of everyone who took part and how everyone was cheering the pupils who were racing on.

Well done to those children who stayed on green all week and got their good to be green pencils. 

Also a big well done to everyone who got their walk to school badge for walking to school at least 1 day per week.

Congratulations to Ayden and Scarlett who are this weeks stars in Year 6.

As a part of our DT project we designed and started making Stone Age jewellery. We started our lesson with discussion about materials used for making jeweller now. Then we explored what jewellery looked like during the Stone Age and what natural resource were used in those days. We compared Stone Age jewellery to what is worn nowadays. We then designed our very own Stone Age jewellery as well as labeling the resources that would have been used such as animal teeth, stones and shells. Today we used our designs to create beads for our necklaces and bracelets using air dry clay.

This week the children have started to learn about sound in science. As scientist, they investigated how sound travelled through a string telephone. They chose to compare 2 criteria- either: long and short string telephones, big and small string telephones, wobbly and straight telephone wires or trapped and untrapped telephone wires. They created a hypothesis and then tried to prove whether they were right. Some groups were quite surprised by their results. What a great lesson. 

Congratulations to Year 3 children who received a Head Teacher's awards and good to be green pencils. What a great start to the new half term! 

Attached is our home learning grid for this half term.  The activities are for anyone at home self isolating or anyone wanting to do extra activites.

Attached is our plan for this half term - all about Space.
