Today we worked hard to create some lovely collage work to represent the different layers of the earth. They look fantastic now they are finished and I can’t wait to hang these in the classroom – they look so colourful!

Class 11 Earth Hook! 🌎🌍🌏
Today, Class 11 were right back into action and have began their hook week for the new Expedition. The new Expedition is called Earth Shattering Events: What happens when nature strikes?
The children were focusing on the different layers that made up the Earth, so it only felt right that we created a fun, collage that showcased the crust, mantle, outer core and inner core, so that we could see the different layers of work.
Keep an eye on the blog, as we continue to be hooked into our new Expedition this week!
Class 10 first day back!

Nursery Crew – Welcome to the Summer Term!
We have had a beautiful first day back in Nursery today and have enjoyed being arty and crafty to immerse our classroom for our new expedition ’Would you travel by wheels, wings or other things?’ Today we have explored traffic lights, what they mean and the colours red, amber and green. The children used powder paint to create their very own traffic light inspired art. I can’t wait to see what we can explore tomorrow… Mrs Hay x
Year 5 Updates
We hope you have all had a lovely Easter break and are ready for the summer term! There are a few changes for this half term.
PE
This half term we are having Kixx for our PE sessions. This means that PE will now be on a Monday afternoon. Please make sure you bring your PE kit, including trainers, every Monday.
XP Outdoors
On a Thursday morning, we have XP Outdoors. Please bring suitable clothing with you every Thursday.
If you have any questions about what kit is needed please don’t hesitate to ask.
Class 15 – Kixx!
This afternoon we have enjoyed our first session with Kixx! We have practiced passing using the inside and outside of our feet and ended in a fab tournament.
Please can all children bring PE Kits and suitable footwear each Monday starting from next week until half term. We will have Kixx sessions each Monday afternoon so this will replace PE on a Thursday.
Thank you! 🙂
