Preparing for Harvest
This morning we learnt a Harvest poem and creating art work to share at the Harvest service as we read the poem next week in church.
Reading the paper
We have enjoyed reading newspapers today! Not just to keep up to date with the latest world news, but to see how the layout is different to a fiction book. Next week we will study this further, before becoming reporters ourselves and writing a newspaper article from the 1922 discovery of…
Noticing
To end the afternoon, we enjoyed the quiet of the outdoor classroom to remind ourselves of our ‘Noticing’ activity. We linked it to our school value for this half term, thinking of times we have shown respect to others, when we’ve been respected and of times we could have been more respectful and…
Science- Materials
What better place to have our science lesson, about rubber and the inventor of the tyre, than on our tyre park! The children learnt about Charles Goodyear and John Dunlop, so they may be inspecting your car tyres to see if they can spot either of those names.

Today we had a calmer session to help us learn some of the key moves so that we can start to put the moves to…
Egyptian writing
We have been looking at how the Egyptians communicated through hieroglyphics. We had to crack the coded message we were given before using the hieroglyphic alphabet to write our own names. We all agreed that even though it was fun, our English alphabet is much easier!
Lego printing
We’ve been exploring block printing in art today. Using our prior knowledge of primary and secondary colours, we had a go at block printing with Lego!
