Year 2 have had great fun in art in our last 2 lessons.
We explored the features and textures of different fruits and vegetables by handling them, sketching them and then printing with them.
Thank you for sending in such interesting fruits to explore!

Year 1 had an excellent day out today at Bring Yer Wellies. In the morning, children learnt about how important plants are to our lives and how we can look after them. Then, they got to work potting 2 plants - oregano and lavender which we were allowed to take home with us.
This afternoon, we took apart a wormery and had a look at what worms eat and what they produce. After this, we went down to the brook and raced some small, cork boats, cheering them on from the side. Finally, we had a go at den building. We made two dens big enough to squeeze ourselves in and then it was time to go back to school!

Getting ready to perform!
We have been learning to play a brass instrument in Year 5 all year and are getting better and better. Here is a sneaky preview of Year 5, as they prepare for a performance to the rest of the school and their parents at the end of term. Look out for the invite.

World Book Day in Year 5
Here we are celebrating World Book Day in our pjs. We are never too old for a bedtime story!
Big Question Launch - Squashed Tomato Challenge
Date: 23rd Feb 2023 @ 4:57pm
To invent or not to invent, that is the question.
The first part of launch day involved us all working together in teams to invent a way to enable tomatoes to travel down a slope over the distrance of a meter without being touched or thrown. The inventions the children came up with were amazing. Everyone learnt a lot and worked together by taking on different roles really well. Take a look at the results.

Year 2 had a great day out today at Martin Mere!
We saw lots of different birds from all over the world.
We watched them enjoying the sunshine either in the water or on the land.
We learnt all about Whooper swans and how they migrate from Iceland to stay at Martin Mere for the winter. They are getting ready to fly back there soon.
It has been a busy day!
The Big Question Launch - Pok-a-Tok
Date: 23rd Feb 2023 @ 4:45pm
To invent or not to invent, that is the question.
As part of our launch day we tried to play Pok-a-Tok. This was one of the first ball games ever to be invented. It was invented by the Maya and it had unexpected rules.. The ball could not be touched by hands, feet or head! Instead we had to use hips, knees and elbows. It was fun but impossible. Thank goodness inventions are adapted and improved over time!

Year 2 had a great time creating their explorers vehicles! They all got to grips with using saw and made careful measurements.
If only we could fit in them to go exploring!

We loved meeting our special visitors this morning.
We found out so many interesting facts about these amazing birds!
We even got to stroke them and hold one!

Time to test them out!

This afternoon we took part in First Aid training with Andrea from Mini First Aid.
We learned how to call for help and what information we need to tell someone. Do you know your address including your postcode?
We know how to check if someone is breathing.
We had a go at basic CPR and also learned how to help someone who is choking.
We also learned how to put a patient into the recovery position. Can you show someone how to do this at home?

An amazing afternoon was had by everyone in Year 6 taking on the characters in the Wizard of Oz story. We are definitely ready now to impress everyone in the Christmas production.
Science Light Lesson at Priory
Date: 4th Dec 2022 @ 7:12pm
We had a great first lesson at Priory High School this week learning about how light travels; which materials light can pass through and how mirrors can change the direction of light rays. It was great using their practical equipment - the ray boxes showed us really clearly the straight light rays.

Last week we tasted different fruits. This week we tasted fruit smoothies.
We have a better idea of which fruits work well together.
Now we will be able to plan and design our own recipe before we make our own fruit smoothie!

This week we enjoyed looking at artwork by Keith Haring.
He created colourful artwork with active people in.
We enjoyed creating our own artwork in the style of Keith Haring and will create our final piece for a display very soon.
