This week, Year 6 started to explore Pop Art. We discussed the style and the different colours involved. The children then worked on creating their own. We think you’ll be really impressed with the results!

This week, we had Vision and Values day. We took part in 6 different activities based on the values and got stamps on our values passports. One of the values was trust in which we had to trust our partner during a blindfolded obstacle course. 

This week in computing Year 3 have started to create their own branching database. We continued to develop our understanding of ordering objects/images in a branching database structure. We used an online database tool to arrange objects and created our own questions with yes/no answers. We were then able to test our branching database. 

This week, we discussed different forms discrimination can take. We then talked about ways we had seen people tackle discrimination and ways we could make others feel special and included. We created a paper chain of examples we had seen or were committing to do ourselves.

This week we have moved onto the multiplication. The children have used their knowledge of arrays and repeated addition to write and solve multiplication calculations. Another important skill that they have used this week is counting in 2s, 3s, 5s and 10s to solve the answers.

Thursday was a lovely celebration of World Book Day! We loved seeing everyone’s wonderful hats. So much effort and thought was put into them all.
 

Great job, Year 2!

Year 4 completed their art pieces. They took their time and produced some lovely pieces. 

This week, year 5 went to Daisy Book to read to the year 1 children as part of our World Book Day celebrations. They were fantastic role models for the younger children! 

Today we had a very special visitor come into school to deliver a ‘A Stone Age’ workshop. 
We explored the tools and technology, hunting and survival as well as foraging techniques. 
We took a journey back in time through the different eras of the Stone Age. 

Yesterday was No Discrimination Day and we have celebrated this in school today. We took part in a circle time focused on respect, tolerance and celebrating our differences. 
We started our circle time looking at what makes us different? and then looked at what makes us the same?  
 

As a class we made a kindness chain. Each link represented an act of kindness they have done or witnessed, linked to tolerance and respect. 
We are proud to be part of St John’s which is a No Outsiders school. Here we celebrate everyone.
