During dinosaur theme tasks, the Sunflower’s have been learning all about four types of dinosaurs. Using an AAC device, each child was able to choose their favourite dinosaur from the four. Excellent decision making Sunflower’s!

We are absolutely loving our Ancient Egyptian theme. This week we have been learning about Egyptian pharaohs, Tutankhamun and Cleopatra.
We each learned a little bit about each pharaoh and then designed a headdress to wear in a role play scenario.
The Asteroids worked well today, putting together their Easter gifts for people at home.
We discussed who we might give the gifts to, then the boys set to work handling the foodstuffs without being tempted to eat them! It was very tempting!
We listened well to instructions and made confident choices.
Well done, Asteroids! The gifts are eggcellent!
As part of our IDL theme work we have been exploring toys from the past and some of us brought in our favourite toys to share with the class. We all were effective contributors when sharing our opinions on the toys from the past. We enjoyed playing with toys and the majority of the class said they preferred the old toys compared to their game consoles or IPads.
We were successful learners and confident individuals when participating in our PE lessons this week. Lots of great active participation with smiles all round. We have been working on our listening skills, working with a partner, throwing and catching. Very proud of the whole class this week in their PE lessons, fantastic concentration and determination to do well.
We had a great time last week as we took part in Science Week. This year’s theme was Our Senses. Each day we took part in an experiment about each of our 5 senses. We also enjoyed learning about different engineers and having a go at completing our own STEAM challenges. We were effective contributors and successful learners every day!
we celebrated Red Nose Day last week in style by having a day of laughter and fun. we spent the morning completing team building challenges set by the other secondary classes and them joined up with the others virtually in the afternoon. It was a lot of fun, our favourite challenge was the biscuit eating challenge! We were very effective contributors as we took turns and worked well together.
