Changing ducks
We can't believe how much the ducks have grown in only a week. We are very sad to see them leave tomorrow, but so happy that we have seen them grow so much! 
YEAR 3

English
This week we have started our new whole school writing unit based around the book Journey by Aaron Becker. The children have enjoyed making lots of predictions about what will happen, role played scenes from the book, written a diary entry and a conversation using direct speech. We have been teaching the children the importance of editing their work by self assessing as well as peer assessing.
YEAR 4

Science Week
As part of Science Week, year 4 have been taking part in the whole school STEM challenge.  Groups had to work together to firstly build the tallest tower from just 2 sheets of newspaper and 30cm of tape.  Then, as a second challenge, build the strongest structure with 10 sheets of newspaper and 45cm of tape. Brilliant teamwork, excellent communication and the ability to plan and re-plan as necessary led teams to success!
YEAR 5

Shortbread Biscuits
Year 5 have been busy with Design and Technology over the last couple of weeks and finally got to making their biscuits!
YEAR 6

Inheritance
In science, we have been learning about inheritance and how children inherit features from their parents.

They used Mr Men and Little Misses to demonstrate this!​
