Year 5 had a great day learning scooter safety skills today!

Today, year 1 have been busy creating their own version of Steve Antony's 'The Queen's Hat.' They decided to change the title to 'The Teacher's Scarf' and had lots of excellent ideas about what they could include. Many of them used alliteration and onomatopoeia words in their writing too! We are so proud of you Year 1!

Year 4 have been studying William Morris this half term in Design & Technology - here are our very own wallpaper designs in the style of William Morris. We designed our own motifs with William Morris designs as inspiration, transferred our motifs to a polystyrene block and then used this block to print our sheet. We hope you love them as much as we do!

In KS1 outdoor learning this week the children have been identifying different bird song. We listened to each song and tried to recognise which bird it was. We then hoped we might hear some of these birds outside too - we had to close our eyes and listen very carefully. The children then used what they could find in the forest to make bird song sounds and performed them to each other.

In outdoor learning Year 5 continued to plant trees as part of the Queen's jubilee celebrations.

During the session the children found a crisp packet in the under growth. When we inspected the packet closer we discovered that this crisp packet was a staggering 19 years old! It looked in very good condition, with very little damage. Some very interesting discussions were had and It made us all think about the impact plastics are having on our planet. We shall be looking more into what we can do in the future to limit our plastic waste around school.

Outdoor learning has been a lot quieter than usual because the children took part in the big school birdwatch. We had a wonderful time watching the birds and learning the different bird songs.
