Infants<\/strong><\/p>\n

A super start to the new term. We have been making batik patches for Elmer the elephant which look fantastic, Reception carefully painted their own with watercolours, being careful not to put the same colour on adjacent squares. On Thursday, we learnt about St George and acted out his story with puppets we made, this was really good fun, we have some great actors! Our school value this half term is kindness and we have all been very good at showing this to one another which has been lovely to see.<\/p>\n

Lower – Year 3\/4<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s been a whirlwind of a week back!\u00a0 The kids have come back eager to learn and keen to share what they had been up to over the holidays.\u00a0 It was lovely to hear about everyone’s adventures.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

In Maths, we have been finding out more about tenths and decimals.\u00a0 We will be starting our new English topic next week, Water.\u00a0 Thinking about pollution and climate change and how we as individuals can make a difference.\u00a0 Kindness is our value for this half term, the children have been noticing lots of people being kind around school and sharing them in class and assembly.\u00a0 Celebrating and noticing kindness seems like a super way to spend our time, I’m sure you will agree.\u00a0 Forces and Magnets is our topic for Science, we thought of lots of questions on Tuesday that we would like to find out and wrote down things we already knew.\u00a0 We also recapped our learning from last term on States of Matter.\u00a0 A super PE session was had by all the juniors, it was lovely to be outside in the warm weather.\u00a0 Everyone worked really well in their teams and there was lots of encouragement for team mates going on, which was great to see and hear.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Upper \u2013 Year 5\/6<\/strong> \u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a busy week! In English, we have been writing a mystery story involving a detective with a crime to solve and have paid particular attention to sentence openers adding speech, dialogue and ways to add suspense. In Maths, we have been estimating, calculating and comparing volume and in Art we have started to look at pieces with water and how the artist has created the image of water in their work. Our topic for PSHE this term is \u201cOne World\u201d and this week we have been discussing what makes a good global citizen, the children came up with some lovely ideas.<\/p>\n
