Great work Year 4

We worked around a carousel of activities to explore a different aspect of Mayan life today. We looked at Mayan hieroglyphs and created our own logograms. We investigated the Mayan number system to decode different numbers. Finally we created our own complex Mayan calendars and used them to find our 'Mayan' date of births. Thank you to my volunteer leaders Ruby, Sam and Lucy.

As part of their South American topic, Year 5 have been studying Brazilian artist Beatriz Milhazes.  She is a contemporary artist whose work is vibrant, colourful and often geometric. Year 5 have started their journey to produce a piece of art in her style, by using a painted background and creating geometric shapes in different colours and textures to create their collages..  Watch this space for the finished artwork soon!  Mrs Blomeley

Year 3 and 4 loved taking part in the cricket festival today where they played lots of different games to develop their bowling, batting and fielding skills. We played the game jail cricket and Noah and Toby were the last two in the game out of all the schools there! A water fight to cool down at the end was a perfect way to finish the day and a highlight of the day by many that attended.

Continuing with our micro:bit survey that we are taking part in, today we coded the micro:bits to help us count the number of different species of animals and plants in our school environment. The code was quite tricky but the children were quick to pick it up and then enjoyed exploring the school grounds looking for different types of life. 

Greek food tasting in Year 3.

Children tasted pitta bread, feta cheese, olives and tzatziki dip. We felt like Year 3 was a Greek restaurant with Greek music playing.
