Week 2

Another very busy week with the highlight being our Spanish Day celebrations on Wednesday. Children came to school dressed in either red and yellow (the colours of the Spanish flag) or Spanish themed clothing. We enjoyed tasting some delicious Spanish food, including chorizo and hot chocolate, as well as learning more about Spain with a fun quiz. In the afternoon “Real Madrid” competed against “Barcelona FC” in a hotly contested football match, cheered on by enthusiastic supporters.
 

In Science we are continuing to study the topic of light. This week we learnt about angles of incidence and reflection then made periscopes using cereal boxes and mirrors. We also found out about the colours that make up a spectrum and created colour wheels. 

We are delighted that two of our pupils have had their creative writing published in a book alongside work by children from all over the country. Well done to them!

Week 1

It is great to be back after the Easter break and we have had a very busy time. In Science the children did some research about light and presented it to the class. In PE we made up our own attacking and defending games which was challenging and fun. In Maths we have been learning about area and perimeter and in English we have read and debated newspaper articles, considering what makes a balanced argument.
