This term we have been learning about the Royal Family and the King’s Coronation.  We baked cakes for a special coronation themed cake sale. This was part of our Make £5 Grow project. The children looked at costs of what we would need for our cake sale and we worked out selling prices to ensure we would make a profit. This combined with our previous sales at the Easter service means our total raised so far is over £100! The children will be involved in deciding how the money is spent.

In maths we have been doing lots of practical measuring activities.

Our Talk for Writing text this term is “Mr Big.”  We used our local area for ideas for our writing by going a walk up to Brunston, where we discovered an abandoned golf club (and an abandoned door!)

We are continuing our weekly outdoor learning sessions on Fridays. Children have been learning how to safely build fires, taking part in team activities, helping to clean up our village and there is lots of time to play and have fun (climbing trees is one of our favourite things to do!)

In PE we have been working on our athletics skills in preparation for sports day. The children are taking part in inter-house competitions including rounders, football, basketball, cross country running, javelin and long jump.

Niamh Bulfin, who is our educational psychologist, has been working with us this term on Positive Psychology lessons. We have been talking about what makes us happy, what we are good it and optimism.
