During Science, we have been investigating how we get shadows. To achieve green standard, children had to explore if they could prove whether light travels in straight lines or not.
By the end of experiment, children were confident that light travels in straight lines and that we have shadows due to an object blocking the light source.
Over the long weekend, we are asking children to read chapter 3 and 4 of our class reading book ‘Clean Getaway’. We know they’ve been really enjoying reading this in class and would like to give them the opportunity to read for pleasure at home. Happy reading! 📖

Crew Welburn have started Case Study 1 in expedition this week – How can I help my body to grow? We begun by looking at the skills that we need to work on in our crews to look after our bodies, and to develop our independence. We began by talking about how we brush our teeth and why we need to look after our teeth, and then we moved on to how we can be more independent when getting dressed – especially when we are putting on our gloves! We all showed the grown ups that we can turn our jumpers the right way around and put them on with no help, zip up our coats with no help, and every single one of us had a go at putting on our gloves without needing the grown ups to do it for us! 🧤
We had an exciting delivery today in Crew Welburn…Some new play-dough resources had been delivered to help us with our fine motor skills so that we can make our fingers nice and strong! It was a very popular area of provision all day, and the grown ups were all really impressed with how well the children were challenging themselves to use the new tools and to use their fine motor skills, and focussing on what they were doing
We have exciting news again, Active Fusion are hosting camps at out school in February half term (Monday 13th – Friday 17th February). Camps will cost £6 per day and children we need to bring their own pack lunch. The reason camps are charged this time is because Active Fusion are not receiving any funding from the government.

In crew today, we created animals out of leaves, can you guess which animals we made?
Today we looked at the different parts of the human body: head, shoulders, knees and toes.
We also looked at the 5 senses. Ask us if we can remember all 5?
We have had such a wonderful first few weeks back at school and the children’s enthusiasm for learning is wonderful to see especially when we have been learning about circuits. The children in LKS2 have enjoyed investigating how circuits work and what happens in additional equipment is added. They particularly enjoyed adding a switch and buzzer to their circuits. The children have demonstrated fantastic HOWLs by listening to each other carefully when creating their own circuits.
What a wonderful we have had in LKS2. It has been wonderful to listen to the children reflect on their achievements in the Autumn Term and celebrate their learning with their family. It was lovely to see how much knowledge they had remembered about the Second World War. Each and every child who attended their SLCs did such an amazing job and we are exceptionally proud of them all. We cannot wait to see what happens during our Spring Term.
Thank you to all those who attended, we hope you enjoyed them as much as we did.
Keep up the great work LKS2!
During our hook week, the children in LKS2 enjoyed learning about what plants needs to survive and of course the different parts of a flowering plant. They even planted their very own seed, we cannot wait to watch them grow.
We also learned about sustainability and shared the different ways that we can be more sustainable at school and at home. The children created some eye catching posters to remind others as well as making their own pledge. It was wonderful to see the children share their praises and notices for each other’s posters. The children were eager to share their ideas and they could explain how some small changes can make a big difference.
