Thank you to Mekaal’s mummy for bringing her baby to visit us today. We have started our new expedition “See how things grow.” We started off today learning about what babies need and how they grow. Baby Yaya has milk but he doesn’t have food. He needs lots of cuddles and people to love him. Ask the children what they have learnt. They were very good at thinking of ideas.

Happy New Year! 3B have had an amazing start to first week back.
Shoutout to those children who made a special effort to dress up as a robot for the occasion. We spent the morning in our crews completing some activities to hook the children into the learning for our new expedition this term. These activities included investigating the internal organs, skeleton and muscles using AI and interactive games; classifying robots; making electronic circuits and cutting and sticking robots and skeletons.
Children were given a word at the end of each workshop to workout our new guiding question: The power of life: What makes us human?
As reward for solving the puzzle and in preparation for Friday’s learning, we spent the afternoon watching the film Robots.
The children are all hooked in and excited to learn more.

3H have been trying to guess the name of their class elf for the last few weeks. They were convinced it was Haycock Junior as he tormented them as much as I do but unfortunately they failed in their guess, so he caused pure destruction on the final day of term. He did find a moment of niceness though when he stuffed our fake grenades with yummy chocolate…thank you Icerink and well done to Sienna for working out where he had hidden the chocolate from the clues he left us!
We hope to see Icerink and his army of elves, who kept multiplying during the final day, next year. We wonder if he could go back to elf school though because his spelling is absolutely atrocious and we would love to know how one elf became two, then three and finally four…our minds were blown and the excitement kept building!
Have a wonderful break everyone, you deserve it! Keep safe, be happy and have fun! I look forward to seeing you all safe and sound in 2025!

Year 3 had a great time celebrating the end of a long and difficult term. Everyone has worked so hard and every pupil needs to feel pride for the achievements they have fulfilled. We hope you all have a wonderful two weeks rest and for those who celebrate it, we wish you all a wonderful Christmas too!

We had a thank you card today from Tiny Hands for the teddy bears and care packages we sent them. They were very touched with the kindness and thought. Well done EYFS.

6B had a great time grappling with circuits this afternoon. Each group successfully created a working circuit, lighting their bulbs and even powered their propellors. They linked this learning to their current expedition by noticing how solar power is used in space exploration. Great work 6B!

We have been working really hard in Years 3 and 4 to produce portraits of our key artist: Henry Moore. Just look at this beautiful work to be proud of…
Every child needs to be proud of their achievements this week. I hope they take on their next artistic challenge of working with the media that Moore had available to him during World War Two with as much enthusiasm and support for each other as they have over the last few days…true crew!
