In PE this week Reception have enjoyed exploring different ways of travelling and balancing using the equipment. They also demonstrated how they could use the equipment safely.
Year 2 have been learning about capacity in maths. They were asked to estimate the capacity of a range of objects and after they were put to the test to see how accurate their estimations were.

This week at gardening club children enjoyed finding out about honey bees and how important bees are to gardeners. They tried on a bee suit, looked inside a bee hive and spotted the queen. Next week they will be going out to find bumble bees in the school grounds.
In guided reading this week Year 4 worked on our fluency by rehearsing and performing a poem all about Tutankhamun and his pyramid tomb. They read aloud to each other lots of times to learn the lyrics before practicing reading them with backing music and finally performing to each other. The performances were amazing and the children really enjoyed reading aloud with confidence!

Dream Big, Fly High
In assembly this week we talked about setting goals. We all set goals to achieve this week. These ranged from reaching 20 reading quizzes, improving fluency scores to working as a class to gain the extra 10 minutes play time.

Message from the Head
We all love it when the sunshine comes out! This week we have been playing on the field at dinnertime and the children have thoroughly enjoyed it. It is lovely to see how happy they are.

Reading Café
After half term we will be starting reading cafes where families are invited into school to read with their children. Watch this space!
