Our two school football teams kicked off their seasons this week. Both teams represented our school brilliantly and we’re looking forward to the games ahead.
Following on from their history work all about Neil Armstrong and his voyage to the moon, Y2 looked at the footprint he left behind on the moon’s surface. They then predicted which material would leave the best footprint in flour. Following the investigation, the children discovered rubber and plastic left the best print. We then talked about which material would hold a footprint best – soft sand or flour. The children correctly predicted it was the flour.
This week reception have been practising their cutting skills to build their own Scarecrows. We had so much fun making friends for Harry O’Hay and Betty O’Barley from the Scarecrows Wedding.
Reception and Year 6 were very excited to meet their new buddies. We had a lovely afternoon getting to know each other.
EYFS worked well as a team to build our scarecrow. We decided to make Harry O’Hay from our text ‘The Scarecrows Wedding.
The children enthusiastically participated in an assembly about World Anatomy Day. We found out about the role of the lungs and the heart as well as trying out some exercises to increase our heart rate.
If you would like to learn more, you can visit The Fire station on Sunday 15th October.
We had a lovely time at the Harvest festival yesterday. Thank you for all of your kind and generous donations.
Nursery put their cooking skills to the test today and made some harvest soup. The children chopped up the vegetables themselves and we enjoyed smelling the delicious soup floating through the classroom.
Most children gave the soup a big thumbs up but we were so proud of everyone at least trying a bit.
Congratulations to our winners!
Nursery had a fantastic PE session today practising our throwing and catching skills using balloons. We tried to keep them in the air for as long as possible. We then applied these skills to using beanbags.
Staff were so proud of how independent the children were when getting ready for PE. Another skill we have encouraged the children to practise at home as well.
