Expedition Celebration

A big thank you to the children who learnt their lines so well for the celebration event on Tuesday.

Mrs Poncia was our special guest to the finale event to celebrate the completion of our “How can we protect people from Natural Disasters?” expedition before Easter.

We presented her with the poem that we wrote, as she lives in the village of Fishlake, devastated by the floods in 2019 – she is even mentioned in one of the verses! She was very impressed and loved our artwork.

The final product will be going to Fishlake.

Fun-packed week in LKS2

I can’t believe that there have only been 4 days at school this wee, we seem to have done so much!

In English, we have developed our speaking and listening skills by creating role plays about a disastrous visit to a dentist. We followed this up by starting our extended piece of creative writing – a diary entry about a disastrous visit to a dentist! We are being inspired by the Diary of a Wimpy Kid and the Demon dentist.

In Expedition, we had stomach churning investigations into how our digestive system works. We researched the functions of the parts of the digestive system and then things got a little bit messy when we created our own digestive system with bananas, orange juice, biscuits and a pair of tights!


A great week has been topped-off with today’s NSPCC number day. We have shared the book ‘How many Jellybeans’ which showed us exactly what 1 million jellybeans looks like. That inspired us to investigate different aspects of maths using jelly beans! We have weighed, timed, created 3D shapes, graphed, estimated and much more – and then we got to eat Jellybeans – win win!

I am so proud of working with the children and adults in LKS2, their hard work and enthusiasm makes me look forward to coming to work every day!

Disgusting Digestion in 4G

We had a great afternoon – although it was quite stomach churning for some!
We are scientists and we have been learning about the digestive system this week, and today we brought it to life!
We used a plastic bag, tights, orange juice, bananas and biscuits to recreate how food is digested – broken down in the mouth, mixed in the stomach and passed through the intestines, until the waste is passed out of the body as faeces.

How funny it is to see how our insides work, on the outside!

Pyjamarama Day

On Friday 14th May, we will be celebrating Pyjamarama Day in school. Children are invited to come to school in their pyjamas for a suggested donation of £1. The aim of the day is to raise awareness of the importance of a bedtime story for all children. Donations will go to the National Book Trust, who use the money to help all children have a story in their homes to read. Children will be participating in some fun activities in school on this day, all linked to reading for pleasure.
