We have been investigating mechanisms today, using simple materials to make moving parts.

The cold won't stop us from getting outside and getting active. This week in PE, we were playing games that involved 4 players against one. One of the games, we used a rugby ball and we could only catch it. One of the games was a football which we had to kick. Another game was bib tag which we all…

Tamarisk have been exploring how electricity flows through a circuit.  We talked about safety too and how we must NEVER interfere with electricity in the home.

We had great fun building bug hotels in the school grounds.  Thank you for all your support from home sending in materials for the children to construct with.

Science during Autumn 1 took us outside every week come rain or shine.  (Mostly rain)

We hunted down bugs, classified them, researched different habitats, explored pond life and even made new bug hotels on the school grounds.  Thank you to everyone at home who sent items in.

The weather can't stop us!  Our PE focus in Autumn 1 was athletics.  We set up circuits inside to work on hurdles, sprinting, aim or throw and javelin.  We took it very seriously!

We looked fantastic, rocking spots everywhere on Friday to celebrate the wonderful fund raising event of Children in Need.  We followed Joe Wicks in his final countdown to achieving a full 24 hours of exercise.

On Friday we investigated how to light a simple bulb.  We talked about what electricity is, how it flows and the need for a closed circuit.  We also talked about safety and how we must NEVER experiment with electricity in our homes.

Today, it was Children in Need. We all accessorised our uniform with something spotty. We were very inventive with our accessories. We supported Joe Wicks on his final 20 minutes of his mammoth 24 hour workout. We were all very hot and tried at the end of it. Click continue reading to see more…

Today, we had a very yummy lesson. We tasted a variety of dips and discussed their flavours and what we liked or did not like about each dip. This will help us when we design our own dip next week. Click continue reading to see more photographs. 

In Reception we learnt how poppies grew in the fields after the fighting had stopped. We remembered all those who have been affected by war by printing poppies with potatoes, making paper poppies of our own and then wearing them with pride!

Today we have had a busy and exciting day. We have been thinking about the soldiers who have fought in the wars and we have been making poppies a symbol of remembrance. At 11 O'clock we even managed to be quiet!
