In Year 3 we have been reading The Last Castaway where the characters become stranded on a desert island. This week we had our own adventure. We visited the beach and took part in a ‘Survival Day’ where we learnt how to survive on a desert island.

First we learnt how to build shelters to keep warm. Next we went foraging for food in the rock pools. Then we learnt how to start a fire using fire sticks so we could cook our food. It was a fun filled day from start to finish.

We are looking forward to our next adventure!

Delicious Chocolate

By S Hume27th March 2017

In Year 2 we have become masters of chocolate.

We’ve found out where it comes from and how it was first discovered.

After exploring how chocolate is made today, and reading some of ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’, we decided to design our own chocolate bars.

The designs were amazing and the children were very inventive so we decided, as a class, to make the best three chocolate bar designs.

We all worked together to create the spectacular chocolate slabs and they tasted delicious!

World Book Day in Year 2

The children looked amazing dressed as book characters on World Book Day.

We began the day by reading some of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory story

Year 6 World Book Day

Back in class, the children from Year 6 the children watched the old movie of Alice in Wonderland, made notes about the film and produced some amazing descriptive writing from this stimulus.

Here are some pictures of the day.
