Exploring time zones- Year 5
The afternoon in our Geography lesson , Year 5 have been looking at different countries and comparing them to each other using the GMT lines on a map. We have used Digimaps for schools to help us with our investigation. We then moved onto looking at flight paths. We tracked live flight paths, noting time zone changes.

Whole school worship: Martin Luther King Jr Day
During our whole school Worship this morning we focused on Martin Luther King Junior Day. We thought about how Martin Luther King wanted to bring hope, freedom and change. We all thought about what he meant by the phrase ‘the content of their character’ and how we could try to make peace in the world. We ended our Worship by singing and dancing to Stevie Wonder's 'Happy Birthday' to you, which he wrote to wish Martin Luther King a happy birthday and to encourage the authorities to hold a special holiday each year in his memory.
Reception: Muddy Monday
Reception really enjoyed their walk today around Jack Keys. The children showed the Christian value of courage whilst climbing over a stile independently. The children enjoyed investigating the marsh land and looked for moles and rabbits!
Reception PE
Reception enjoyed their under the sea themed PE this week. We played a game of starfish tig, had a go at balancing balls on the bats and completed different stations to practise our key skills, such as jumping like a star fish, sliding like a sea snake and walking like a crab.
Year 3 Worship- Mary and Joseph flee to Egypt
In our class worship we thought about how Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus felt when they had to escape from Israel into Egypt. We prayed for refugees who are feeling the same as they did - terrified, worried, alone without family or friends, not understanding a different language and having to eat different kinds of food that they were not used to ( if they could get some)
Sportshall Athletics in Year 4
Today we have been trying out various events from Sportshall Athletics. We completed both track and field events then practised with a baton exchange in relays. Everyone worked so hard and pushed themselves to achieve their best! Well done Year 4

Year 3 PE - Tag Games
Year 3 PE - Tag Games Year 3 have been using skills of chasing, fleeing and dodging when playing Tag Games in PE.
Year 1 Science
Year 1 have been identifying the materials that objects are made from. We have been exploring wood, metal, rubber, plastic, glass, fabric, wool and cardboard. We created Venn diagrams. We learnt that the middle section of our Venn diagram was for materials that were made from both of the materials that we had chosen e.g. scissors are both plastic and metal. We found that some objects are made from three materials such as the Rekenreks which were made out of metal, plastic and wood.
