As part of Anti-Bullying Week, 6MG had a really sensible discussion about homophobic bullying. We shared the story ‘And Tango Makes Three’ and then created comic strips. #AntiBullyingWeek #UnitedAgainstBullying

Tomorrow marks the start of Anti-Bullying Week 2020 - United Against Bullying! We are inviting everyone to wear their odd socks each day this week. 😊

Year 3 and 4 have enjoyed a virtual author session with Alan Windram. He read two fantastic stories to us, had us doing some robot dancing and then answered some of our questions - it was very exciting! 3T even got to enjoy the session at home too.

6MG’s giant poppies of remembrance. Each of us created a quarter of a poppy, which we then joined together. We will remember them. 🌹

Mr Bee's class have started to make waistcoats in design technology. 🐝

Year 6 have had a lovely Halloween party in the woods, which was all planned by them! 🎃👻

Class 5B have been scientists this week! We made different sized parachutes and tested to see whether the surface area of the material affected how long it would take to fall. We made sure our test was fair and we recorded our results in a table.

As part of our Healthy Me topic, 2ML have been looking at why we are washing our hands so regularly. We carried out an experiment to emphasise the importance of soap and then made germ posters to show how we wash them away.

6MG finished their Mayan inspired masks today. Did you know, event masks were vibrant and colourful as they represented animal spirits? Death masks were made of the precious stone, Jade, as it symbolised the soul and was intended to protect the wearer.

6MG have had a fun afternoon making hats. Last week, we designed our hats and today we made them. We needed to make sure our hats were wearable and they had to have a purpose. Mrs Mordue

3T have enjoyed working as a team to build a Mesolithic dwelling following on from their learning about the Stone Age, they've made some Autumnal leaf decorations and had lots of fun playing games working on their communication skills.

6MG have had a fabulous afternoon in Art creating zentangle prints.

What a fantastic afternoon 3T have had at Forest School! We've had amazing team work, resilience and co-operation as the children worked together to create the tallest free-standing structure. Well done everyone :)

6MG have had a great time in the woods this afternoon. We have built dens, made camps, 'cooked,' made picture frames, climbed a tree, played on a swing, made a swing (big and small) and played some games. It has been a busy afternoon!

3T enjoyed their first virtual music lesson with Mrs Mathison today through Teams. They were super at joining in with clapping, tapping and marching rhythms. Well done everyone :)

3T have enjoyed their first Forest School session today. They've shown super teamwork skills, bravery when climbing trees and problem solving as they created dens and swings.
