We have been visited by a real-life geologist! Andrew came to visit to speak to us about the rock cycle and how different types of rock are formed. He was fascinating and even taught us about the rock beneath our school!
He brought lots of samples of different rocks with him. Some had traces of silver in them! Looking at and exploring rocks with him has really helped us to build our background knowledge for this case study.
Thank you Andrew!

A few weeks ago, we were visited by staff from Amazon who launched their Young Readers event with us. We listened to a great story about super heroes then designed our own super hero in small groups. We even got to dress a person from each group up as the super hero that we designed! It was great fun!
Later on, every child was lucky enough to be able to choose a book to keep. There was a huge selection to choose from and everyone seemed to enjoy their choice as they relaxed with a biscuit and quiet book reading time…
The next event is next week…I can’t wait! I love books.

Year 3 have been working really hard on ‘time’ just recently. We’ve grappled with everything from reading and writing Roman numerals; to telling and drawing the time to the exact minute on a clock face and on a digital device.
Everyone has worked so hard to get better at telling the time, but many of us still need to get better at it. Please keep asking your children what the time is at home to support them with their learning in school.
Thank you

Today, we were so pleased to welcome volunteers from Amazon into our school for our first Young Readers event.
The volunteers shared a quiz and a story with the children and then challenged them the create their very own Superhero.
Everyone was so engaged in the task, as paper and tape were turned into capes and masks! It was great to hear how imaginative the children were , when coming up with their superhero names and super powers.
This was followed by a visit to our magical book room, where children were able to select a book of their choice to take home. Everyone was so excited and couldn’t wait to get started reading their book – so that’s just what we did – with a biscuit of course.
A huge ‘Thank You’ goes to all the Amazon volunteers, who delivered their workshops with real pizazz, and another ‘Thank you’ goes to the National Literacy Trust’s Young Readers Programme and Vicki, who made it all happen.
This is the first of three event that we are so lucky to be able to share with Year 3 and 4 this summer. We can’t wait for the next one in a few weeks.

What a lovely time we had singing WW2 songs and sharing a picnic soon the school field at lunchtime today, to commemorate 80 years since VE Day.
After posing for a whole school photo, it was time for a bit of fun, with some dancing and singing some more recent tunes!
We took a moment to thank those who gave their lives for us today.
