In Science this week, Kittiwakes Class have been putting their knowledge of different materials to the test to discover which would be best to protect Humpty Dumpty! Our learners explored six different materials, carefully considering their properties before making their predictions. Then came the exciting moment when Humpty had his very own 'great fall' down the stairs! They discovered that bubble wrap was the best material to keep him safe, thanks to its flexibility and air-filled bubbles which provided extra cushioning. 🥚🥚 What a fantastic hands-on investigation! 🥚🥚

Mrs Payne was very proud of the children in Chat and Chill Club today. Some of the children got creative by making beautiful poppy wreaths and drawings to mark this special time of remembrance. We were very proud of how wonderfully the wreaths turned out, and we were also impressed by how super speedy some of the children were at completing the poppy word search! 🔎 Well done, everyone! 🌺

🐷 Lots of exciting learning in Puffin Class! 🐷 This half term, our topic is Traditional Tales, and we've kicked things off with the classic story of The Three Little Pigs! 🐷🏠 The children have been challenged to retell the story in their own words. They've been getting creative using Cutting Kingdom to make their very own story maps, as well as bringing the tale to life through our puppet show! 🎭 It's been wonderful to see their storytelling skills develop. We're also learning all about the Hindu festival of Diwali this week! 🪔 Yesterday, some of the children got creative making their own diyas and beautiful rangoli patterns. We've been discovering how Diwali is celebrated around the world, and later this week we'll be sharing the lovely story of Rama and Sita. A busy week full of stories, creativity and new discoveries!

A fantastic start to the half term for Chough Class! Yesterday, Chough Class had a wonderful start to their new English unit. They have begun exploring their new class text, The First Drawing, which will inspire their writing over the coming weeks. 📖 The children discovered that the book is a work of historical fiction, based on a true story and set around 30,000 years ago during the Stone Age. They also explored how Stone Age people used handprints as a way of signing their artwork, before creating their own handprint masterpieces! 🖐 There were lots of smiles and a real sense of pride in their creations. Well done, Chough Class – what a brilliant start to our new topic!
