We used our mathematical problem solving skills to solve a problem where we used our building skills to build houses in different ways. There always had to be two bricks (rooms) on the bottom and the same number of bricks each time.
We are so pleased with our paper mache solar system. We have used so many skills from across the curriculum to make them!
Look at our AMAZING Solar System!! We have all worked extremely hard to make this fantastic Solar System. Great team work by all of the children!
Year 2 and 3 have been looking at forces and magnets in Science. They carried out an investigation to test the amount of friction on different surfaces.
We worked hard to follow instructions and create some bots on some new Lego coding kits. We found this hard work ,but great perseverance and problem solving skills were demonstrated!
Congratulations to our Welsh badge winners this week. You have been using lots of incidental Welsh inside and outside of the classroom. Da iawn pawb!!
Today, we enjoyed using paper mache to create the eight planets of the solar system. We can’t wait to paint them next week!
Here are a few snaps from our Spring play, which our pupils wrote. It was based on George’s Marvellous Medicine with a hint of Matilda. The pupils created their own checklist of everything that needed to be completed in order to answer the question ‘What will it take to be ready for a theatrical performance?’
We think they were definitely ready, we hope you did too…!
The Mantle of the Expert spark for this term is discoveries. The children have discovered a long lost tomb on the side of a mountain in the Valley of the kings.

The children will now take on the role of the archaeologists to find out about Ancient Egypt and the treasures discovered. Here are some of the things that they would like to find out about this term in order to help them achieve this…
This week we have been using a range of resources to make our very own bubble wands. We found that we needed to blow carefully and be close to the string to make sure we made bubbles.
