It has only been a short week due to an occasional day on Friday, but we have still managed to cram a lot in. Our highlight of the week has to have been our visit from History off the Page. We spent a whole day learning more about our current curriculum project of toys.
We started the morning off by having time to discover a toy library. It was filled with such lovely toys that lots of the children had never seen before. They were allowed to touch them and play with them. Some of the challenges involved looking at the ...
This week we have had a focus on anti-bullying throughout the school. In our PSHE lessons we have been looking at the unit ‘Celebrating Differences’. Our task this lesson was to identify differences between the children in our class. We played a game where the children moved from one side of the room to the other depending on their answer to a question. For example, the children who liked pizza went on one side and the children who did not went to the other side. We discussed how although people are different to each other, these are differences that we ...
Today we marked Remembrance day by joining with Year 2. We watched a short video explaining why it is important to observe this day and we held a minute’s silence. Throughout the week, children from Year 6 have been coming for us to buy some poppy merchandise to raise money for The Royal British Legion. Below is the video we watched if you would like to share this again with your children.

We looked at the toys belonging to us, ones that belonged to our parents and also some of us managed to bring in some toys that belonged to our grandparents. We looked at the way that the toys had changed over time but the children were surprised that the same toys have existed for a ...
I cannot believe that we have come to the final week of our first half term!
This week the children have enjoyed art week. We have completed a series of skills throughout the week including shading with different graded pencils ranging from 2H to 6B. We have also used water colours where we learned how to load the brush correctly and we have also completed leaf rubbings using different media such as chalk, pencil and crayon. Our final piece was created using water colour and pen to finish off half of a famous painting called ‘Senecio’ by Paul Klee. The children ...
