This week we have been working in teams using our orienteering course. It was great fun and we will be using it lots more in the future.

Today the children have been using their imaginations to create lots of delicious dishes in the mud kitchen. They have made mud soup, pies, wraps, ice creams and fruit salads. 

‘Sunday should be kept as a day of rest.’

On the playground, we debated this statement. 

The children argued either for or against putting forward their ideas and views on this statement.

Today we explored why the Leeds Liverpool Canal was built.

We discussed why Liverpool and Leeds were selected as well as what was transported along the canal.

We selected what we thought were the most important reasons why the canal was built.

Year 5 looked at what is a mammal and an amphibian.

We explored what is a living thing before examining the similarities and differences between mammals and amphibians.

The children learnt about different types of food and then they made a healthy breakfast by layering oats with fruit they had chopped themselves.

This week the children have been listening to and following instructions to make sandwiches. They chose their fillings and talked about where our foods come from. Their spreading and cutting skills are certainly improving!

We have had a special arrival of caterpillars in Reception! The children have loved watching them grow over the last week. We have talked about the life cycle of a butterfly and found out that butterflies lay eggs, a caterpillar comes from the egg. The caterpillars then form a chrysalis before…

This week we have started reading ‘The Sea Saw’ by Tom Percival. The children then wanted to visit the beach so we added water to our sandpit and the children were able to dig, build and have fun with their friends. 

There were some amazing hair creating on show this crazy hair day!  Thank you for all your support for our PTA.  

The children have had a wonderful time celebrating ‘Crazy Hair Day.’
