Reception had a fabulous sports day. We are so proud of each and every one of them. 

This week Year 2 have been looking at mass. Children have used their knowledge of all four operations to work out a recipe for chocolate brownies and then made them today. I’ve got say the result was … DELICIOUS! 

This week Year 4 have started their new History topic on Crime and Punishment in the Middle Ages. We have looked at the different crimes and punishments in the Anglo-Saxon era. We discovered that the trials were brutal and they often led to you being found guilty, even if you weren’t. 
Well done Year 4! 

Today as part of our RE topic ‘What does it mean to be Christian in Britain 🇬🇧 today?’ we explored Holy Communion. We were very fortunate that Reverend Gareth and Reverend Pamela were are to conduct a typical Holy Communion service for us at church. We asked some great questions and took part in the blessing. 

Reception have enjoyed learning the poem of ‘Zim, Zam, Zoom’. They have designed and created their own rocket and were able to write independent sentences. 

We had such a great morning at our Druhm workshop! The children really impressed us with their counting skills and this helped them keep the beat of the music. For the rest of the day we’ve had Art day! 1P have focussed on textiles and done weaving, finger knitting and sewing. It’s taken a lot of resilience but everyone has improved their skills so much with their perseverance. 1H have been making clay pots, inspired by Jon Stuart Anderson. Creating patters on their pots was challenging but they all tried their best. Great job Year 1! Next week the classes with swap round. 

Year 2 were luckily enough to have a visitor in R.E. this week who came to talk to them about the Jewish festival of Hanukkah and Shabbat. They were able to look at a range of artefacts including a menorah, hanukkiah, kiddush cup and shabbat candles as well as tasting some challah bread.
