Year 5 thoroughly enjoyed their ‘Breakfast with a Book’ yesterday morning with Year 1. We enjoyed toast and juice whilst sharing lots of books with our younger friends. Thank you Year 1 for a lovely reading for pleasure morning. Check out some of our photos!
Year 6 had a very busy no pens day. In the morning they investigated the practical side of their current maths topic: measurement, read and presented persuasive speeches, in line with their English topic, before guided reading with their reception buddies. The afternoon consisted of a gymnastics lesson, followed by a French speaking and listening lesson and a chance to show off all of their oracy skills to their parents during COOL afternoon.
Year 4 had a fantastic No Pens Day on Tuesday! In Maths, the children explored multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100. They used place value mats to show how digits move, helping them explain their methods.
In English, the children used their oracy skills to give each other step by step instructions on how to make the perfect sandwich . They listened carefully, spoke clearly and had lots of fun!
During History, the children became reporters for the afternoon. They created their own news reports to tell the story of a Viking raid on Lindisfarne. They spent time developing and rehearsing their lines, focusing on projection and engaging their audience. Well done Year Four!
This morning, Year 5 competed in the Sportshall Athletics competition at Temple Park. We competed in various track and field events. We finished in the top 5! Check out some of our in action photos! 
As part of ‘No pens day’ in reception, we explored the school yard to find triangles and circles as part of our maths lesson. We used our phonics knowledge to build words using the letter cards in phonics. In drawing club, we used our oracy skills to describe our own bus stop, as part of the story ‘We catch the bus’. We joined our year 6 buddies in the hall for guided reading and then finished the day with our grown up creating puppets and machines as part of our topic.
In Reception, as part of our topic ‘Marvellous Machines’ we have been looking at how machines have changed over the years and investigating if they are more efficient. We finished the lesson with a lovely smoothie.
Today has been No Pens Day in Year 3! Learning in lots of different ways, without writing anything down! ️
In phonics sessions Year One love to make up our own sentences using the spelling patterns we have been practising.
Year One have been testing their senses including taste, smell, feel, hearing and sight. They loved the taste and smell testing!
