As World Book Day draws closer, we have started to plan an accessory to wear on Thursday. Drawing on our favourite stories for inspiration, we have written the materials required and how we will reinforce it. Stay tuned for more Updates!

To celebrate World Book Day in Year 2 , we will be enjoying a variety of fun , exciting activities. We started the week off by sharing a twisted tale. We read the story "The Runaway Chappati" by Susan and Adam Price. 

This week, Year 3 have been learning all about news reports and writing to inform. In Reading, we have been looking at a report about a terrible incident where Humpty Dumpty was pushed off a five-metre wall. Today, we have been using technology to help us with our learning! We used the Thesaurus app on the IPADs to find synonyms for words in the text and collated them on a mind-map. It was so much fun!

Year 4 had an amazing day with Maker {Futures} on Tuesday. The pupils had so much fun making, inventing, exploring and problem solving - it was an experience we will remember for a long time. Some of our favourite activities were creating different circuits and developing our coding skills with robots. 

It’s been an action-packed start to Spring 2 in Year 5! We were excited to have Makers Futures over to let our students get their hands into a vast amount of STEM activities. Combining science, technology, engineering and maths, students controlled robots, did DIY, created circuits, made monsters and much, much more

This week in nursery we have  started our new theme ‘On The Farm’. We have read the story called ‘Chicken Licken’ which has lots of farm animals in. The children have painted pictures of different farm animals in the creative area, acted out the story with the small world animals and built a barn for them in the construction area. In maths we have sorted animals into groups of size and matched animals to picture cards. We have also been talking about the weather as there has been lots of wind and rain! We can’t wait for next week where we will continue looking at different farm animals!
