What a fantastic day of immersive learning. The whole class re-enacted what school was like in 1939 at the start of the Second World War. The children made evacuation labels and gas masks then we boarded the ‘train’ as evacuees to our new homes in the countryside.
Such fun and such brilliant learning.

Today we have been learning about perspective and how to create distance through the use of chalk pastels.
The end results are very impressive!

Today we learned all about the circulatory system and how the heart works.  The children had a great time exploring three stations where they learned about heart rate, how the pump system works and how to listen to your heart.

Afterwards, the children designed a mechanical heart/lung machine that could replace the heart and lungs to keep a person alive if needed.  These designs were incredible and very well thought out!

This is what P5/6 will be covering this term.

Please ensure your child returns any reading books they might have at home and ensure they are regularly swapping their library books to support home reading.

We have been working hard to set up the Helping Hands free shop. The class is worried about the amount of waste going to landfill and are committed to encouraging the community to waste less and share more!

The learning involved in this project has been rich and fully engaging. We have learned how to write persuasively, design digital fliers, run a business, create digital rotas, work collaboratively, sort, manage and maintain stock.
Watch this space for opening times!

We brought our favourite book,

We found a nook.

We read our books,

Thank you!
