As our topic this half term is dinosaurs, we were talking about how tortoises are one of the closed related animals to dinosaurs. Hollie and her Dad kindly offered to bring their pet tortoise Larry intos school and we all got the opportunity to clean, feed and hold him.

When we came into school this morning, we saw a trail of footprints. After being archaeologists this afternoon, we decided as a class that we thought they belogned to a dinosaur.

On Tuesday 5th November we had a visit from the 'Birdman' Alan Ames. He brought in some amazing birds of prey and told us lots of interesting facts about how each one has adapted to be the perfect predator.

During Maths Week England, each child from every class produced a piece of Maths related artwork. The children really enjoyed being creative with Maths and the results were fantastic! On Thursday, the Hall was transformed into an Art Gallery for the children to visit. A selection of work was exhibited from each class which included shape garlands, shape rockets, symmetrical patterns, arrays, tessellations, optical illusions and geometric designs. There were some interesting conversations in the "Gallery" where the children discussed their favourite works of art!
