The children have been learning all about shapes this week. We have been focusing on sorting  simple 2D shapes into groups. The children are focusing on recognising the shapes in different ways such as size and colour but knowing they are still the same shape represented in different ways. They…

Year 3 tried something new today - we used a needle and thread to add to our seascapes in art. Using white, blue and green thread we created patterns to add to our wonderful artwork. We found it tricky and a little bit fiddly but we showed determination and made great progress. Well done!

We started with a very Important question ‘Are we all the same?’

1. People burn fossil fuels.

2. The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere rises.

3. Average global…

We were so impressed by the children’s independent reading answers this week! They have worked so hard on using their own opinions in their answers but also being able to use the text to support their opinions too. Well done Year 5! 

In History we are continuing with our topic ‘The great change makers’, today we have focused on Josiah Wedgewood we have looked at what his famous Jasperware, which is his blue and white pottery. We used our i pads to record all the changes he help make to the country. 

Today we used freeze framing to re enact  key elements of the story. We then created a bank of questions to ask Plop and used this to complete our hot seating.
