What a fun morning testing catapult, looking at the materials, making predictions and observations.

Super Sumdog

22nd November 2022Laura Parsons

Class Five have been giving their brains a work out this morning on the iPads. Sumdog definitely got our minds ready for the day.

Don’t forget you can play Sumdog at home – the more you play – the more points you will earn!

If you can’t remember your log in just drop me a message on Dojo.

Headteacher’s Award

18th November 2022Claire Goodyer

Well done to all of the children who received a Headteacher’s Award this week. It was wonderful to see how kind and hardworking our children have been.

Keep it up!

Nursery had a great time building bear caves as part of our expedition on How we care for the bears. We all used great listening, teamwork and problem solving skills as we constructed bear dens in small groups. We tested our bear dens suitability for shelter by mimicking the weather using a watering can for rain and blowing on the dens for wind. We were very proud peacocks!

We are scientists!

We have been investigating materials to find out which one would be best to build a castle. In crew we worked together to build castles out of paper, fabric, plastic and wood. We then tested them against wind and water.

We wrote letters to the knights to let them know the results of our investigations so that they could build the most secure castles to keep them safe from the big, bad dragon!
