St Michael’s First School

Year 3 have been continuing to create their weaving art inspired by the Iron Age. This needed concentration and perseverence. Well done Lenny, we are all very proud of you. Once all the class have finished, they will look great on display.

Year 3 and 4 enjoyed exploring the snow at playtime today. It looks like they had lots of fun!

In Science, Year 3 have set up an investigation to explore what particles are in our school soil. We will be making observations throughout the week and sharing our results. We will repeat the process with soil found further inland so we can compare.

Many congratulations to Daniel, Arthur and George who were the first to be awarded our TTRock Stars Battle certificates for being the highest scoring pupils which included effort, accuracy and speed. Who will it be this week for 'Battle of the Classes'?!

World Book Day was a great success, thank you to all of you for making such an effort with costumes. At playtime it was almost like a book had come alive!! More photos and information on what we did will be in our newsletter.

In PE Year 2 have been exploring different types of jumps.

Year 3 and 4 loved exploring the Roman and Iron Ages at the Somerset Museum in Taunton. More details about what we learned in our next newsletter.

A super interactive service all about Ash Wednesday.

A model of our digestive system using bread & banana to represent the food. They saw it travel to the stomach (the bag) into the large intestines (the tights) where they drained the liquid & cut the tights for the end result of poo. Mixed reactions to seeing it in action!

Year 4 enjoyed an interactive Science lesson this week as part of their Animals, including Humans unit. More to follow!

Marvellous mosaics in Year 4, linked to their Roman topic.

Super sounds by Year 4 today. Can you guess what they are playing?

Many congratulations to Seb who was awarded his yellow tag belt tonight.

Happy Chinese New Year to our families and the wider community.

This week Year 2 have been enjoying gymnastics. The focus was on creating individual and partner balances, focussing on control and making their balances aesthetically pleasing. Well done Year 2!

Year 3 also launched their Science topic of the term, Rocks, Fossils and Soils. We started with an exploration lesson, discussing the different rocks, their properties, similarities and differences.

Year 4 launched their new Science topic of Animals including Humans. They have set up an experiment using an egg shell, to test the effects of different drinks on our teeth. They will be observing the shell to see which drink shows tooth decay.
