Beyond the Beat

This week, our Beyond the Beat musicians took up their instruments and performed in front of the rest of the school. This not only puts to the test their keys for success such as confidence, but it also shows how these children have been putting in the time and effort to learn their craft.

R2L

Our target in R2L this week is "I can use my words when I am upset." We thought about how powerful our words are and how helpful they are when we are feeling strong emotions like sadness and anger. Our words let others know how we are feeling and also allows them to help us. We also thought about how the power of our words can affect others; words can either build people up, or knock people down. Our week ended with a visit from Silas, from New Life Church, who taught us the importance of using our words through lots of fun and role play.

Keeping healthy!

This week in PSHE, we discovered how much sugar there was in our favourite snacks! 7-year-olds should only have 6 cubes of a sugar a day, but a bowl of ice cream can have up to 8! This shocked us all. We sorted foods which we thought did and didn't contain sugar, and then we shared ideas for healthier snacks that had less sugar in them.

Maple

Maple class continued to learn about the school's history by looking at important events. We looked at the Platinum Jubilee celebrations that took place at the school and learnt about the Queen's Green Canopy Project. We went to see the tree that was gifted to the school.

Birch

Year 3 had a fantastic trip out this week to Fishbourne to learn about all things Roman. The children had a great time making mosaics, finding out what food the Romans ate, trying on Roman clothes and even learning how to tie a toga! Everyone was so impressed with how polite and amazing the children were - well done Birch class - there were so many great photos to choose from!

Sycamore

We have had a creative week in Sycamore Class! We have been learning about healthy food and how to preserve food to keep it fresher for longer, so we have made hummus and fruit kebabs. It was loads of fun, and the best bit was that we got to taste it all afterwards! Delicious!

Year 5 and 6

Year 5 and 6 worked systematically in their new science projects ,'Changing materials'. They were able to apply all the new vocabulary they have been learning in science by identifying the properties of a range of materials.

A truly Roman visit
