Craft Club

Today at Craft Club we thought about the seaside and holidays, while we made our version of ‘coloured sands’. We used salt because we live too far from the sea to collect sand!

It's all about the chocolate!

On Tuesday, Year 3/4 had a fantastic day packed full of Design and Technology! In keeping with our topic theme 'Chocolate', the children completed some market research to find out which chocolate is the most popular. Using the information gathered, they then designed their very own chocolate bar and wrapper for Mr Wonka. They used their mathematical knowledge to create tally charts and build nets to make a 3D wrapper design. Following this, they then presented their new chocolate bar and wrapper design to the rest of their class. Their next step will be to produce a short television advert promoting their new product. Having seen some of the designs, I am sure the adverts will be mouth-wateringly brilliant...

New Equipment

Thanks to all your fundraising efforts last year, we have now received lots of new PE and playground equipment! The children have loved playing with the new playground equipment this week and the Sports Leaders have done fantastic job at organising the new PE equipment. All of this equipment will help to ensure that our children have healthy and active break times as well as ensure that high quality PE lessons can be delivered by our staff and coaches. 

Some of the items we have received are: playground balls, footballs, netballs, ankle skippers, mini lacrosse sets, rounders equipment, fitness dice, space hoppers, a crazy catch and new tennis equipment. 

Once again, a big 'Thank You!' to everyone who helped support our PE fundraiser last year.

Art Club

Art Club are printing this term. Have a look at the wonderful old industrial Indian wooden printing blocks the children have been using. They have learned how pattern repeats. Here they are practising "step" repeats!

King Cobra Class's Golden Mile

This morning King Cobra class ran and walked the Golden Mile. Some enthusiastic children ran 1 1/2 miles! Here are just a few of them!

Year 5&6 Science

Years 5/6 are comparing life cycles this term. We had the most intriguing question from Asa. We know there are a few mammals who lay eggs - duck billed platypus and the echidna for example, but Asa asked how echidnas hatched from their eggs. Did they have egg teeth as most birds do. Here's a gorgeous video explaining all about it.

Year 3/4 Trip to Cadbury World

On Tuesday Year 3 and 4 went on a fantastic trip to Cadbury World. We had an exciting day learning all about how chocolate is made and the history of the cocoa bean. Some of our favourite parts were writing our name in melted chocolate, the Bean ride and of course eating lots of chocolate !

A big thank you to the PTA who donated money towards the trip to make it more affordable.
