We have met a real-life polar bear expert!

31st January 2024Mrs Haycock

We have been in awe this afternoon when we visited Svalbard via GoogleMeet! Joanna (our expert speaker) works as a biologist for an amazing organisation called Polar Bears International. She told us so much about polar bears and their habitat – helping us to build real-life background knowledge. She is currently working on a really important project about polar bear and human cohabitation. We aim to help her organisation towards the end of our expedition by making a monetary donation. You can find out more about them on their website: https://polarbearsinternational.org/

It was one of my favourite moments so far this school year when children started getting out of their seats and as close to the screen and Joanna as they could. Everyone started the session sat at a table then slowly but surely, more and more crept closer and closer to her. They were enraptured!

Thank you, Joanna!

3F PE

31st January 2024Lucy Wood

Year 3 had so much fun in PE today. They perfected the skills of balancing, jumping and landing on one foot and creating their own challenges in groups. They came up with some brilliant athletics challenges and it was so lovely to see them use their imagination when doing this. Keep it up 3F!

We can identify partitive nounsā€¦

28th January 2024Mrs Haycock

In English, we have been looking for and suggesting different partitive nouns to show how much of a particular something we have. The children suggested a teaspoon of sugar; a loaf of bread; and a bolt of lightning amongst many others. They were then able to insert missing partitive nouns into a recipe for hot chocolate.

Well done everyone!

Remarkable Roman Research

7th October 2023Mrs Graves

3GS worked really hard at the start of the week, researching aspects of Roman life. They had to use different sources to find out more about Roman roads, houses, clothing and towns.

After they completed the research, they produced posters and presented their findings to the rest of the class, so everyone could learn what they had learnt.
