Term 1
In Term 1 we enjoyed our “Sound” science topic and, in particular, the experiments about sound vibrations and pitch.
We worked well with our partners to make our rice “dance”.
We loved having our parents and guardians visit for our numeracy drop- in session.
We brought Fair Trade snacks into school for FairTrade Week.
We took our Numeracy learning outside and used our data handling skills to tally the different trees and leaves in a small area of our woods.
We looked at the work of the artist Andy Goldsworthy, and in groups, using natural materials, we were inspired to create our own pieces of Nature Art.
We were delighted with our results.
We had a fantastic day on Halloween and enjoyed our Community Walk and the P7 Spooktacular.
Christmas Fayre Fun
January 2025
Before Christmas we completed our Design and Technology topic and we were very proud of our felt pencil cases. We are so pleased at how great we were are sewing different stitches.
We used water colours to create some wintery polar bear art. We think they look great!
At the start of the term we learned how Jewish people celebrate their day of rest, Shabbat. We looked at Shabbat traditions and made our own version of Challah bread in the cosy cafe.
