What a fantastic day we have had in Year 1! We started off the day by going back in time in a time machine. We took away all of our technology and swapped our whiteboards for chalkboards. We practiced quill writing, reciting times tables, racing and learnt all about old toys. We even learnt about punishments children used to face!
Thank you for all the effort you have made to make this day as special as it has been, the outfits were fantastic.
Definitely a day to remember!
Congratulations to our winners!

In computing, we have been learning all about algorithms Today we tested our skills on the IPads. The children have learnt how to get on to the internet and search for the website we wanted. We all managed to direct the robot to his alien friends using an algorithm.
I have attached the game we used incase you would like to have a go at home!
Congratulations to our winners!
As part of our music topic, Y4 have been learning to Beatbox. What do you think of our performance?
In Reception, we have been learning about measurement.
As part of our ‘Winter’ topic, we carried out a Maths investigation using ice cubes. We each decided how many ice cubes we wanted to use and counted them out independently. Then, we weighed our cups of ice using analogue and digital scales. We recorded our findings in a table and talked about the word ‘grams’. We left our ice until after dinner and compared our cups to discuss how the ice had changed. We noticed that the ice had melted into water because our classroom was so warm! For our next job, we re-weighed the cups of ice to see whether the weight had changed. Then we poured our water into our measuring jugs to explore capacity. It was a very busy day, full of marvellous maths!

Today, Year 6 visited Nissan to find out all about car manufacturing and what it takes to be an car engineer or production worker. We used Lego to practise car assembly, visited the resident robot (who made Evie and Lucas pictures!) and then tested our skills to see if we could work at Nissan.
I’m sure Year 6 will agree that we have had an amazing experience and that the juice and cookies treat was particularly delicious! Congratulations to the following for winning the design a logo competition :
Runners up: Caleb and Fed
Winners: Jess and Izzy
Congratulations to our winners!
We have been learning all about penguins! Today we became scientists and looked at how penguins keep dry. We learnt they have special waxy feathers. We all made our own waxy penguins and tested them by spraying on water. We all managed to create a waterproof penguin!
This week, the Nursery text of the week was “The Gruffalo’s Child” by Julia Donaldson.
We loved the marks the different creatures made in the snow and wanted to try this for ourselves! Unfortunately, we didn’t have any real snow so we used shaving foam and salt trays to make the different marks the characters made. We also repeated one of the famous phrases from the text as we made our marks, “Aha! Oho! A trail in the snow!“
