Cross Country

Some children from Beech and Sycamore Classes took part in a cross country competition. We represented school very well and came back with one bronze, silver and gold medal, earning us 2nd place overall.

United Kingdom Celebration Day

Chestnut Class have been learning about the 4 nations of the United Kingdom in Geography. They have studied each country to learn about landmarks, famous people, capital cities, food and interesting facts for each.

We baked an item of food from each nation and invited parents in to celebrate and taste what we have been learning about.

The Tiger Who Came To Tea

Oak Class have been reading The Tiger Who Came To Tea this week. We have been doing lots of writing and drawing linked to the book. We also had a tiger themed tea party where we made our own food and ate it all together. As we had been doing ‘ch’ and ‘sh’ in Phonics it was only right that we made cheesy chips and drank squash.

Phonics

Miss Molloy’s phonics group practised writing ‘qu’ and decorating crowns.

Reflective Materials

In Science, Sycamore Class tested were tasked with finding the best material for a reflector on our school book bags.  We investigated a number of different materials, using a torch to test how reflective they were against a piece of paper.  We concluded that the best reflective materials are smooth and shiny!

Christmas Dinner

Years 1-6 enjoyed their Christmas dinner, complete with Christmas music and crackers.

Beech Class Drama

Beech Class are doing drama sessions based on evacuees in WWII. They acted out the actions and emotions that children of the time might have experienced. The first session was set in the city where the children in our story lived and their experience of air raids, their father going away to fight and finding out that they were to be evacuated to the countryside. The final scene showed them leaving on the train that took their whole school away from their city.

Archery

Recently, Beech Class had the opportunity to have an archery competition in school. Our results will be compared with other schools in the area and we will have to wait to see if we have any winners.

Snowmen

Beech Class created their own pom pom snowmen.

Oak Class Trip

Oak Class had a wonderful Christmassy day at Wildlife Oasis on Wednesday. We had the opportunity to meet Santa, make Christmas crackers for the meerkats, watch the snow leopards being fed, handle some of the creatures, learn lots from the very knowledgeable keepers, explore the park and have a yummy buffet.
