Well done to Leaena and Ahil for being chosen as Breakfast Club  Superstars! 

In History the children had their classrooms turned into ‘caves’ so they could complete cave drawings in oil pastels. They used stencils to draw animals and hunters. Their classrooms were dark and they had torches surrounding them to create the effect of a cave. The children were very excited!

The children also went to our local forest school so they could become ‘hunters and gatherers’ from The Stone Age. They found a variety of items such as berries, willow and animal skin. We discussed how certain berries may have been poisonous and what people from The Stone Age would have done about this. We also discussed what they may have made with animal skin. They collected a variety of natural items and brought them back to school, ready for some creative work with the willow.

In Science we have been learning about rocks and fossils! The children had a go at creating some of their own dinosaur fossils which they have proudly taken home!

With the willow that was collect from forest school, the children did some weaving which was very tricky! The children needed lots of patience and perseverance for this task.

In the HIRB for our unit in English we wrote Thank You letters to the nurses and made lanterns, which is what Florence Nightingale used. For Black History Month, we focused on Mary Seacole and wrote books about her life and contributions towards the soldiers in the Crimean War.

This morning, year 5 had the pleasure of meeting PCSO Pete who gave the children an interesting and insightful talk on internet safety. The children were so engaged and learned a lot about how to stay safe online. Many children have reflected on how they use the internet and are going to make safer choices going forward which was amazing to hear! They asked some lovely questions and were eager to know all about the job of a policeman and how you can get into the role. Thank you PCSO Pete!

If you wish for your child to participate you will need to book a place on parent mail by going to shop/payments to book and reserve a place. There is no cost. Places are on a first come, first served basis. We do encourage the children to ensure they attend each week to be able to learn and perform.

On Monday Year 1 children visited Tommy Tumble Town to extend their history knowledge learning all about toys. All the children who went were absolutely amazing! They listened well, followed instructions and played with their friends using lovely manners and taking turns. We had a lot of fun.
