Lime Academy Watergall

This week year 2 had a school trip to Stanwick Lakes. They became wildlife detectives, explored the area, and learnt some interesting facts about the animals that live there. The children searched for clues, learnt about different habitats, and discovered how to identify animals from their tracks and signs. Everyone showed brilliant curiosity, teamwork and enthusiasm while enjoying the outdoors.

Today, Year 4 pupils have been learning about quadrilaterals. They created squares and rectangles using card and split pins as part of their practical learning activity.

This week, Year 5 have been using geoboards to develop our understanding of shape. We have used them to practise making regular and irregular shapes as well as different types of triangles.

Year 4 had a fantastic visit to the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, where they thoroughly enjoyed exploring the Egyptian exhibition. The children behaved exceptionally well and showed great enthusiasm as they looked at many artefacts on display. They also took part in a painting activity learning how to paint on papyrus paper which was very creative (and not too messy!). We were also very fortunate to have a tour guide show us around and inform us about the ancient Egyptians.

On Friday Year 4 visited the Fitzwilliam museum in Cambridge, this trip is to support our topic learning all about Ancient Egypt.

We are excited to announce our 2nd Headteacher Open Door Forum on Friday 19th June at 9.00am
A fantastic opportunity for parents and carers to:
Share Ideas
Raise concerns
Celebrate Successes
Strengthen home-school relationships
Discuss ways to improve and develop effective communication
Enjoy light refreshments

The first forum was a great success so we are looking forward to welcoming even more parents to our 2nd event!

Today children were taking part in a challenge to making Egyptian mummies using toilet paper. They had 3 minutes to cover their peers with paper without tearing the paper. This activity has supported their learning for History and English for their topic on Ancient Egypt.
