Over the last half term, Woodpeckers have been learning about rocks in science. We have looked at the three types of rocks; igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. We found out how each rock is formed and looked at examples of each rock. In English, we have learnt about headings and subheadings, adverbials, adjectives, expanded noun phrases, commas in lists and much more!...

He had hidden his acorns for the winter and forgotten where he had put them. The children searched the classroom and found Scamper’s acorns. The children also received a letter from Prickles the Hedgehog....

Today, in Science, the Owls learned about how flowering plants reproduce sexually. We dissected flowers and studied them under magnifying glasses to identify all the different parts.

We completed our final Prehistoric art lesson on the term today in forest school; the children created their own cave art hand-prints using both positive and negative art. Well done Woodpeckers!

The Reception children were given the challenge to create a fire engine using recycled materials. They discussed what features a fire engine has and then got busy selecting a box and covering it with red paper. The children added wheels, a light, a ladder, windows and doors. The children were very proud of their fire engines. Great work Kingfishers.

The children in Kingfishers Class worked together to make bread. The Year One children shared their instructions they had written for making bread with the Reception children. The children listened to the instructions and got busy making the bread. They thought about safety rules - for example being careful with the knife and hygiene rules for example washing hands, having hair tied up, no touching hair....

The Swans had lunch at The Shed in Sproughton to celebrate the end of their WW2 topic. They enjoyed being quizzed by Berty about their topic and had an opportunity to sit inside an air raid shelter and look at the WW2 memorabilia.

The JRSOs encouraged the children and parents to participate in Cycle to School Week. The children experienced physical activity, increased safety awareness and reduced congestion at the school gate as they travelled to school on their scooters and bikes. The children were also encouraged to take part in a design a bike helmet competition. Sarah the Cook picked the winners and said they were all great and it was very hard to choose the winners! Thank you to everyone who took part in Cycle to School Week.

The Swans have been learning about refraction in their topic on 'light'. The learned that refraction is when light travels from one transparent medium (air) to another transparent medium (water) and that the speed the light travels at, slows down when it hits water and changes its direction slightly. This is why some some objects appear slightly bent in water. They took part in a carousel of activities that demonstrated this phenomena.
