Don’t forget to bring your pennies for Foundation Stage’s biscuit sale tomorrow! We’re raising money as part of our expedition for the charity ‘Changing Lives’. We’re hoping to be able to donate some teddy bears to the charity for children who might not have a teddy bear at home to snuggle 🧸
The sale will take place at the end of school tomorrow outside the front of school – we can’t wait to see you all!
We really challenged ourselves in reading today. We used the text well to answer different comprehension questions and ensured we had a positive attitude throughout, even when we found questions a little hard. Great resilience MI 🙂
Today we looked at a Newton meter and measured the force acting on different objects. We worked collaboratively to do this and used the scale to read the amount of newtons.
Using our knowledge so far we then thought about what we could do to test gravity. This became our aim. This was what we wanted to find out. We then thought about what a hypothesis was and its purpose. We thought about how this would help our investigation. We then wrote our own hypothesis.
From here we took part in the investigation testing out our aim and hypothesis. You can see us in action below… We were all shocked by what we found out!
Reminder:
The flu vaccinations will take place on Monday 7th November for children from Reception to year 6. Thank you to all those parents/carers who have returned the forms. If you have not yet completed it please can you do so and return to school by this Friday 14th October.
Thank you.
Today we started to explore and discuss forces in our expedition lessons. We watched a variety of different clips to understand what a force is and the different types. We then became active and showed both gravity and friction in different ways. We then used the knowledge we had gained to create our own anchor chart for our working wall on the different types of forces. We showed great collaborative working and supported our partner well.
The children had the chance to taste porridge this morning. It was lovely. Like the three bears we had to wait for it to cool down so while we waited we spoke about the different toppings.
Once cool the children tried chocolate chips, honey and strawberry jam on top. As a crew we then created a bar chart to show which was our favourite topping.
We have enjoyed taste testing this morning.
Here’s a selection of beautiful work from across the XP Trust this week!

The children in nursery today were set a challenge to collect and see lots of objects linking to Autumn. We worked as a crew to collect leaves, twigs, conkers and feathers. We saw puddles, wriggly worms and even spiders webs! We had to be be kind to the animals and our woodland environment. The children loved exploring and wanted to bring everything they could see back inside to explore further.
