We have discussed the shapes of fish and boats. We moulded plastercine into different shapes to see which travelled the fastest through water. Then we used words such as ‘streamline’, ‘water resistance’ and ‘contact forces’ to explain what was happening. The cone was the…

Year 6 concluded their work on trade by learning about Fair Trade. We were shocked to find out that if a banana were to cost 30p for us to buy in the supermarket, banana plantation workers would only receive 1p.

Year 4 have been having fun making models of rivers with Miss Flynn in their Geography lesson.

We also looked carefully at the 3D shapes and drew around each face.  This helped us to see the shapes of the different faces.

We also used the polydron shapes to make our own 3D shapes.  This helped us to really think about the shape of the different faces on the shapes.

We are learning about 3D shapes in maths.  Here we are making some using cocktail sticks and marshmallows. This helped us to think about how many vertices in each shape.

As part of our DT topic on shelters, we have been investigating techniques for making strong, stable structures using a variety of materials. We discovered that the use of triangles helps to make a structure rigid. We experimented with different materials to build a framework, including art straws…

As part of our topic of animals, we have been looking closely at different types of animals, their groups and their features. Therefore, we were very excited to look after some fish for a few weeks. We are enjoying feeding them and discussing the different parts we can see e.g “...look at their…

These lovely year 5 pupils represented the school brilliantly today at Pupil Parliament. They found out about climate change and started thinking about how to make school a more sustainable place.

We have been looking everywhere for those pesky lost sheep. We listened to the story Jesus told and then went to find all of the sheep hiding around Nursery. Come in at the end of the day and see how many you and your child can spot.

We have enjoyed listening to stories today. Thank you  to Y3 for coming and reading to us. We love to see you.
