Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
After a horrible week’s weather, it was lovely to have a fun day today with children wearing onesies of every design, colour and style imaginable! This also generated lots of nice chat at playtimes! Of course, the reason was to raise money for Diabetes UK, a charity our school council wanted to support, particularly because one of its members was recently diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Thank you to everyone for the donations, we raised £216. In worship today, we discussed this briefly and helped raise understanding about what this condition involves which is so important for that child to feel understood.
The end of a half term brings the end of topics and often the outcome of a topic is a planned event or significant moment. We had two of these yesterday. Class 4 have been learning about forces through their Science-lead topic about Extreme Sports. They had prepared experiments to present to Class 3 children which demonstrate these forces and held a science fair. Class 3s really enjoyed it whilst Class 4 explained their expert scientific understanding (picture left)!
In addition, Class 2 have been learning about significant moments from the past and their learning about The Great Fire of London was brought to life as they watched their
models gets set alight and go up in flames! The fact the fire brigade were on-site (having visited Class 1) also helped to contrast then and now! Lovely to see children in all classes loving their learning!
Class 2 made use of the kitchen this week. They were learning about bread (because the Great Fire of London started in a bakery) so they visited our lovely cook Mrs Pawling who was making fresh dough for the pizza base for lunch. The children felt the dough and learned to make small rolls with a fingers-down cup shaped hand. Thanks to Mrs Pawling for giving up some time to help the children understand the process – they were much more aware of what they were then eating at lunchtime. If you happen to be a bread-maker at home see if they might like to join you!
