Year 2 - Report Research
Our report writing continued this morning as we researched minibeasts. We used different sources such as non-fiction books and the internet. The children collected lots of interesting facts that they will be able to include in their non-chronological report. Did you know most caterpillars have 12 eyes?
Year 4 Class Council - What makes a good teacher?
In our class worship time we took part in a smart school council session. We discussed what makes a good teacher. Both Summer and Quinn did a great job as Class Leader and Class Note taker . They collected the results from all six groups and it was a tie as two groups chose both ‘a kind and caring personality’ and ‘a motivator who pushes you’ We can’t wait to see the overall school result in the next session.
Year 4 French with Junior Jam
In our French lessons we have been focusing on how to say how we feel in French. The children enjoyed working out which face matched which phrase and then adding the French translation.
Year 4 Art - Willow plate painting
Our art focus for this week has been on willow plate painting which originates from China. We adapted the design to go with our topic of the Amazon and our class novel The Explorer. The children used different shades and added pictures of planes, trees, characters and animals. The end result was a collection of wonderful examples.
Year 5 - Installation Art
Year 5 have been exploring and researching installation art. They have explored a variety of pieces and looked in depth of the inner workings and meanings of installation art. This week the children have been planning their own installation art piece based on their favourite places in the world. They labelled their work with what materials they will use to create their installation art creation.
Year 4 Music with Junior Jam
In our computing lessons we have been looking at making music using different effects in the garage section. The children really enjoyed composing and evaluating other groups.
Year 2 - P.E
This afternoon, the children had a dramatic P.E lesson in which they were trusted with looking after Zog’s gold star and returning it to him. The children had to endure an escape mission which took them through zig zig mazes and swamp stepping stones. If they managed to make their escape they had to throw the gold star (gold beanbag) as far as they could when Zog was flying past so he could catch it. We had some impressive overarm throws and Zog got his gold star back! ⭐️
Year 3 - French - How are you?
Today in our French lesson we have been learning how to answer the question “how are you?” We now know how to say we are good, ok, not so good and angry.
European Day of Languages
On Tuesday, we celebrated European Day of Languages in our worship with a reading of the Very Hungry Caterpillar in French. We learned some Of the French words for fruits in the story and ended with a reflection about things for which we are thankful.

In Year 4 this half term, we are studying living things and their habitats. This week we were learning to group animals using a range of features and even went on to create subgroups. Next week, we will be using what we have learned to create our own classification keys.
Year 2- Science
Let’s just say our science lesson was lots of fun! Today we investigated the importance of hygiene and how having good hygiene can keep us healthy. To demonstrate how being clean keeps germs and bacteria away from our bodies we carried out an investigation. We used sprinkled pepper on water which represented bacteria on a surface. We dipped our finger in and when we looked closely it was covered in pepper. Next, we put soap on our fingers and then dipped them back into the soap. We observed what happened to the pepper and recorded our results in our science books. I’ll let the children tell you about their results…
