Guess the name of our gorgeous dragon!

Our bunny was so popular that this time we have bought a super cute dragon! Help our Year 6 children raise money by guessing the name of the dragon for £1 ago! The dragon will be around classrooms on Thursday and Friday as well as after the Easter holidays!

Class 8: Islamic tessellations

On our faith day today, the children learnt about Islamic patterns and tessellations. We looked at 2d shapes that were used and we used the ipads to create our own repeating patterns and tessellations. We really enjoyed working in pairs to change the size of shapes, move them and alter the colour. We definitely worked on our perseverance skills today. What a fabulous day! Well done class 8 x

Class 8 Presentation of learning

Thank you so much to all of the parents and grandparents who came to our presentation of learning today. I loved that you let the children lead their own learning and show you the skills that they have learnt.

They have loved showing you their chopping, cutting and grating skills this morning.

The children are very proud of their art work on their shrinky dinks too and have all received a postcard from an adult saying how great they were!

Thank you again, have a lovely Easter break x

Class 6 find out about bullying

This morning in crew time class 6 found out what bullying is…and also what it isn’t. We talked about the effects doing or saying unkind things has on others. We talked about the definition of bullying – deliberate behaviour that is done to hurt or upset someone over an ongoing period of time, and that it can be done by an individual or a group of people. We lalsoearned that there are different types of bullying….

Physical – hurting someone’s body or the things that belong to that person.

Verbal – saying mean and unkind things about another person.

Social – a form of indirect bullying where a person is excluded or left out and others are encouraged others to do the same

Cyber – sending unkind messages or spreading rumours about someone on the internet.

We also found out how to prevent being bullied and what to do if it happens to us.

Check out the video below for more information.
