Today was the day we have been planning and preparing for! We finally got to make our sandwiches following our own designs. We used a very wide variety of fillings and tried to create a healthy sandwich with different food groups (as we have been learning about in science). We got to use the…

We are getting ready to make our own sandwiches. Today we practised the skills of chopping, grating and spreading. We had bags of chopped cucumber, lettuce and grated carrot to take home with us. Tasty!

Soon we will be designing and making our own sandwiches so today we prepared by tasting different bread options and a variety of possible fillings. Lots of us tried some foods for the very first time. We didn’t all like everything but well done everyone for giving it a try!

In English we have been enjoying the traditional story - The Pied Piper of Hamlin. Today we imagined the scene in the town when the rats first arrived! 
 

Today Year 3 and 4 took part in our termly intrasports tournament. We braved the wind (and leaves) and had some exciting, closely fought games of benchball. Everyone joined in with enthusiasm and energy and it was great to see their teamwork and how supportive they were. Well done!

Today KS1&2 joined in Well-being Afternoon. In the Year 3 classroom we made friendship bracelets/braids using an ancient method which was used by the Vikings. We were really proud of our creations.

Today we celebrated harvest with all the school. We talked about feeling grateful for all the wonderful food we have and we brought in food gifts to share with others.

In geography we have been learning about the locations of different countries across the world. We have looked at the 7 continents, the 5 oceans, the Equator and the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. Today we had to read descriptions of different countries and use atlases and world maps to find out…

Today we used arrow cards to make 3 digit numbers. We played a game in pairs to see who could make the largest number from their arrow cards. It was great fun!

As part of our graffiti art work we have been looking at the street artist Banksy.  He uses stencils and spray paint to make his images. We designed and created our own stencils based on our initials. This made a ‘tag’ or signature. We then used sponging (Mrs Redmayne wasn’t keen on spray paint!!)…

Today we used as many objects as we could find in our classroom to make 100! We had to make 10 groups of 10 to make it very clear and easy to count.  We were very creative in how we presented our 100.

We are learning about graffiti art this half-term and started by making our own names in a graffiti style. We used shading to create a 3D effect. We also chose bright colours that pop out of the page. We are really proud of our pictures and we hope you like them too!
