✏️We are Writers✏️
In year 2, we have been inspired by the book Stanley’s Stick. We imagined all the different things our sticks could become. We then wrote a poem to bring our sticks to life✨

Topaz Power was powering Year 5 on their trip to Celtic Manor! All children worked collaboratively, cheering one another on and sharing success across all activities. From adventure golf through to the high ropes course, smiles were plentiful and the hotel staff described the year group as a cheerful, happy bunch. Well done Year 5,we are very proud of you!

In Reception today we put on our waterproofs and wellies for the first time and went to explore the woods! 🌳

We went on walks through the trees, dug for dinosaur bones, built dens and swung on branches. It was great fun!

Year 2 have been getting creative! ✨🎨
This week, we have been learning how to draw portraits and exploring the different features of the face. The children carefully observed facial shapes, eyes, noses, mouths and hairstyles, before creating their own fantastic self-portraits! 🖍️😊
We have loved seeing their creativity and individuality shine through in every drawing!

🔎 Year 3 - We are scientists! 💡

Today, we became science detectives as we investigated the question: “What do we need to be able to see?”
Our challenge was to find clues hidden inside boxes and use them to spell one of our key science words. At first, we tried looking through a hole in the box using just our eyes… but it didn’t work! 👀

We soon discovered that we needed a light source! 💡

We learnt that light travels in straight lines onto an object, where it is reflected into our eyes through our pupils. The sense cells on our retina then send information to our brain through nerves, allowing us to understand what we have seen. 🧠👁️

What a fantastic investigation, Year 3! You were brilliant science detectives! 🕵️‍♀️🕵️‍♂️🔬

Year 4 have been learning about the different types of teeth in Science this week! We identified our molars, incisors and canines and learnt about each of their jobs in breaking down food. We then created models of our mouths using marshmallows!🦷😁

Year 5 have been studying structures as part of their DT unit. We investigated what makes structures robust and sturdy without adding huge amounts of weight through material. We then experimented with adding diagonal struts to add rigidity within frames.
