SPORT RELIEF 2016

Friday 18th March will see this year's Sport Relief and we are so excited! The children have been practising for their Sport Relief mile every week and are keen to raise sponsorship for their mile on Friday! We will also be having a dance workshop to practise the Sport Relief song for this year. Click on the video below to have a practise at home! We are looking forward to seeing all the children dressed up as their favourite sports people - look out for photos on the blog!

Commando Joe Inflatable

On Thursday 31st March 2016, Commando Joe will be bringing the inflatable assault course in for the children to play on.  In order for the children to be able to have this treat they need to demonstrate their excellent behaviour.  Any child who is on Red twice between now and the 31st March will lose their opportunity to enjoy the assault course.

 

 

 

Easter Egg Competition

This term's homework project is the Easter Garden Competition. This is always a very popular event and the last chance for the children to design a garden before they enter KS2.  The children need to design and make a Garden around the themes of Easter.  We have included some good examples below.  We would also like the children to explain why their garden should be chosen.

Giving Good Advice

In RE we read the parable The Seed Sower.  The children talked about what advice they could give to each other.  We wrote our advice on decorated flowers and the planted them outside.

Design and Technology

This term's DT project is making fruit smoothies.  So far we have completed some market research tasting a range of different smoothies.  We tried to guess what fruit was in each smoothie and then looked at the ingredients to see if we were correct.  This week we practised cutting, grating and peeling.  We watched videos on each skill and then worked around each activity.  We used the claw grip to cut the celery and the bridge hold to cut the apples.

World Book Day

On Thursday 3rd March it was World Book Day.  We started the day with a fantastic assembly and then we were told a story called Tiddalick.  The session was really interactive and we all enjoyed doing all the actions for each animal.

We will Remember

We spent time talking about Remembrance Day this week and why it is important. All children across school fell silent at 11 o'clock for the 1 minute silence.  In English, we have been writing poppy poems using similes and in Art we made our own tissue paper poppy.  Have our look at our fantastic work.

Looking smart for the the start of term

3D Shape Hotel - Winners announced!!

The judging was extremely difficult as all the buildings were so impressive but we finally managed to whittle them down to a top three. So...

At number 3 we have the snake hotel by Alex, his mum, Pierce and Makel!The complex structure for the snake to use as a playground was very imaginative and detailed!

Number 2 sees the Giraffe hotel by Roshini, her mum and Bradley - a very thoughtful building for a very tall guest including a giraffe-sized door and window!

And ... in first place was the Pig hotel complete with a parasol and reinforced fencing! Congratulations on a luxurious pig pen to Phoebie, Libby and Tracey Bridgett!

Thank you and well done to all those who took part it was a super effort!

Rainbow Grammar

The children also shared their Rainbow Grammar learning with their grown ups and worked on building sentences about their chosen animals.
