Class 11 newspaper feature finders! 📰🗞️
This morning, Class 11 worked superbly well together so that they could find and then understand the features of a newspaper report, in preparation for our next set of writing. We looked into headlines, fronted adverbials and how we need to use facts to get the true story out there. We’ll be practising this in the coming days, especially the 5Ws when it comes to writing introductions!
Class 11 fantastic fossils! 🪨
Here is how Class 11s fossils turned out. The ’rocks’, after a period of time created their own fossil cast, just as we predicted.
Year 3/4 Book Launch
We are excited to finally have our WW2 books published and available to buy!

Books will be on sale for £9.95 and your child will also have the opportunity to autograph their book once purchased!
We can’t wait to see you there!
Class 11 fossils 🪨
Today, Class 11 have looked into the process of fossilisation. We learned that happens overtime, after animals decompose, layers of sediment rises over the bones and these eventually turn into rock. We know that they are rare to find, too. We even made our own fossils, which we will come back to tomorrow!
Year 3/4 community crew meeting!
Here are our wonderful out of this world winners for this week…some gorgeous things said about this lovely lot and clearly very well deserved! Looking forward to seeing who gets it next week! Keep working hard guys.
Class 11 Rock Experiment! 🪨
Today, Class 11 have been building even more knowledge about rocks. We tested the different types of rocks and the durability, permeability and many other aspects of them. We loved getting hands on and had a great time using sand paper and pipette’s.
Rock formation research! 🪨
Today, Class 11 researched how rocks are formed. They created anchor charts to then complete an exit ticket, so that they could explain how rocks are formed, such as sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks.
National Skipping Week
This week is National Skipping week and as a school we will be taking part to see how many jumps we can do. Each day, the children will get the opportunity to take part and count how many jumps they can do and we will create a school total each day. Watch this video to find out more.
Want to take part at home?
School council will be getting involved to see who can skip or jump in the most unusual places. All you need to do to get involved is take a picture or video of you jumping or skipping somewhere unusual and send it into school. The deadline for entries is Tuesday 2nd May. Winners will be announced on Friday 5th May.
Happy skipping!
Class 11 crafty waves! 🌊
Class 11 have been working really hard to create some waves for our classroom displays, this morning with Miss O’Neill. I am so pleased with the amount of fun the children had and how immersed our classroom has become now, due to their beautiful work!
