Welcome back to the Summer Term

Year 2

This week Mr Reads writing group started the week by doing some gardening. This was to help inspire our writing for the next few weeks where we will be looking at the book "Curious Garden" by Peter Brown. Our first writing task was to think about our gardening and how we could use our senses to describe the experience. The group have written some great recounts as a result of their experience.

We tidied up the raised beds in the outdoor classroom and planted some new flowers in the house team colours. See the before and after pictures of the raised beds.

Year 3 and 4

Yr 3 and 4 are starting a new book this term - Leon and the Place in between - and to start the text the children took part in circus skill training. There was skipping, hula hooping and even an attempt at juggling!

Year 5 and 6

In Science this week Year 5 and 6 started their new topic - Material and changes in properties. The children took part in an experiment this week to test whether mysterious objects were magnetic, permeable, rigid or transparent. This will help us with our final outcome where we have to design a new clothing range for an outdoor clothing company - keep an eye on the shops!

We also started a new text (The Boy in the Tower) and arrived in our English lessons to discover we had been taken over by pernicious vines and plants! The children discussed how the plants might behave and made decisions about what they would pack should disaster strike!
