We explored the school grounds to find out what happens in autumn. We went to the horse chestnut tree and spotted all the colours that the leaves are turning. We also picked up something that we could draw back in class. 

Today we explored the sense of touch by guessing which object was in my bag. The children did very well describing the materials so our friends could guess. 

We enjoyed having the Year 6 using their leadership skills this morning. They were showing us some of the playtime games that we could play at break time. 

We had a lovely, relaxing and peaceful Yogi experience today. Just what we all needed coming to the end of term. Thank you 

We enjoyed looking at the shapes we needed to use to help make our structures stronger. We designed our structures and discussed how we can join the models to make them move. 

We all took part in our annual sports morning. The children were fantastic and competed brilliantly. We also saw some pre-schoolers racing and my all time favourite… the Mums/Dads and Grandparents race! 
Well done to Castle Reds who won

We spoke about which shape structures should be to be strong. They worked as a team to make a large 3D structure. 

Today we enjoyed competing in our team colours to win the Intra Sport's trophy.

We investigated how other artists used clay to produce a piece of art. We moulded it into the shapes that we wanted using our hands and tools. We are excited to paint them next ! 

We have enjoyed looking at the designer Orla Kiely and have made our own printing tiles in the same style. We have produced some super designs.
