A massive thank you to all our parents, carers and family members who helped the children make some fantastic weapons this afternoon in our family learning session linked to our latest expedition, Rags to Riches: What lies within the castle walls?.

They were given the challenge of helping the children to use their design and technology skills to plan, create, improve and test a catapult similar to those used to attack the medieval castles that the children have been studying. We had a fabulous afternoon using the different resources available and finished off by testing each of the catapults to see how far they would fire a missile.

All the children had a wonderful time and love showing off their learning at these events which wouldn’t be such a success without your continuing support! We are SO grateful.

PS. I hope you enjoyed the story!

As a celebration of Reading Week and to help decorate our reading area class 6 have a request. We would like to display photographs of us reading in unusual places. This could be in the garden, in the dark, in the bath, in the dog’s kennel…the more unusual the better! Be as imaginative and inventive as you like! See below for photographs of past year groups for inspiration!

You can print them and send them in or email them to me at…

Thank you in advance
