Last week, Class 11 worked hard with their learning buddies to answer a set of comprehension questions based on our class text, I survived…the sinking of the Titanic!

This term we have tried to really develop our skills to unpick a text in order to find the key information needed to answer a question but this activity tested this.

The children had a set of answers in an envelope and had to reveal one answer at a time and then refer back to the text to double check that the answer was correct.

Despite finding this tricky at first, they showed their resilience and all worked very hard and found it an interesting way of doing this sort of activity.

Well done everyone! We will try more of these next term.

Very proud of Keira for swimming 10 metres with the backstroke last week. I’ve seen first hand Keira swimming with our class on a Tuesday afternoon and her technique is absolutely amazing and she continues to improve and push herself more each time. Keep it up sweetie!!

Also, a huge well done to Jensen on his creation of the ‘Titanic’, it’s fantastic. Jensen explained in detail how he made this amazing ship along with the different materials needed. Jensen’s attitude towards his learning this term has been amazing, always with a Can Do Colin attitude- keep it up super star!!

Well done to Lilly-Grace who won the Easter drawing completion. Lilly-Grace included her Shih tzu Barbra on her egg and I think it looks fantastic and so did Michael our chef as he selected Lilly-Grace as the winner!

A huge well done to the playground prefects this term! They work really hard helping the younger children at lunch times. Here they are enjoying their end of term treats- milkshakes and lollies!

Class 10 really enjoyed their Easter egg hunt this morning. They worked so well as a team; helping their friends to find their eggs and some were hidden really well and were very tricky to find!

I am so proud of you all class 10 and how hard you have worked this term. You are all little super stars! Keep up the hard work ready for next term and have a lovely two weeks off!

Here is Olyvia with her portrait which she has created using oil pastels – well done Olyvia it is fantastic!

Yesterday, years 3&4 worked together to create a poster on Buddhism. The children were given time to research the religion and then they had to put their knowledge into a poster. It was so lovely to see the children work hard with other children from the other year group; children who may have never even spoken to one another before.

The quality of the posters were awesome and it was so hard to choose one group as a winner!  But these girls worked so hard all morning, critiquing their drawings and their facts to make it even better! Well done to Emily, Maddy and Zoey who won the poster competition!

Thank you to all who attended our celebration event this morning to celebrate our theme learning “why are you running for your life?” Staff and children have worked hard to create a fun event which could contribute to our ongoing fundraising for the charity “habitat for humanity”. Thank you for your contributions; as always, it is really appreciated.

Year 5 were set the challenge to find the area and perimeter of different areas of the playground using only a metre ruler! They were very motivated to measure the biggest areas of the playground and all had to be Choosing Checking Changing Charlies to ensure their measuring was accurate!

Well done Year 5!

As part of diversity week we are drawing our own self portraits and using oil pastels for the colours. We have enjoyed practising with the oil pastels today and have tried blending, mixing colours and creating tone and definition in our pictures. I am so excited to see the finished product!
