On Monday 15th April Year 5 will kick start their summer expedition ‘how does a healthy lifestyle impact your body and mind?’ by immersing into their history case studies and becoming Egyptians for the day. We would love children to come dressed as Egyptians. We are encouraging parents to make use of any items they already have to avoid purchasing anything new. We hope the ideas above will help. If you are struggling for ideas, please see your child’s class teacher.

6B had a lovely afternoon during ‘Faith Day’. The children studied Judaism and how Jewish people celebrate Yom Kippur. We looked at what happens during Yom Kippur and how it represents a day of atonement where Jewish people ask for forgiveness for any wrongdoings and make pledges. With this in mind, the children then made their own cards to apologise to anyone they felt they had wronged, or pledges of how to be the best versions of themselves.

Years 3 and 4 became activists and walked around our local area spreading their message about the need for change before it is too late for the polar bears of the Arctic!
What do we want? CHANGE!
When do we want it? NOW!
Polar…BEAR!
Polar…BEAR!
We really appreciated the beeps from the cars and the bus that passed us, thank you!
You have placed a small piece of the jigsaw down, Year 3/4. Feel proud of yourselves and keep adding another piece by turning those lights off (or games consoles and TV screens most likely) when you head downstairs for tea. Together, we can all make a difference!

4H embraced World Book Day whole heartedly and we had so much fun throughout the day. The live draw along with Phil Shepherd inspired us to imagine our own characters and ideas for the front cover of a book. The finished products are so good I need to have a new wall built somewhere so that I can display all of them! Getting comfy with a cushion seemed to be a favourite part of the day as we read more of our key text: The Last Bear. There really is nothing better than sitting back, relaxing and reading or listening to a great story. I’m sure someone fell asleep…no names mentioned!
Don’t forget that your book token can be used for £1 off of a book from our book fair when it arrives!

We have had great fun investigating magnets and finding polar north by hanging a magnet from a piece of string. The initial speed of the magnet spinning in both directions convinced the children that it was just ‘going cray-cray’ (their words NOT mine) and not actually working. They were amazed when it finally settled, pointing in the direction we had previously confirmed as being north with a compass!
Ellis took his learning a step further and investigated how closely he could push two magnets together before the magnetic force took over! Well done Ellis, extra special scientist shout out for you young man!
Well done everyone!

Approximately 17,595 steps or 13.12km of walking should mean your child will sleep well tonight. What a wonderful (but tiring) day! The polar bears were so active and our workshop helped us to better understand how enormous these fabulous creatures are. The photos really don’t do the day justice – you need to see them to believe them!
Your behaviour around the park was was fabulous 4H and shout out to everyone in the red crews for excellent behaviour whilst we were on the coach! I am so proud of you all.
Special shout out to Caleb who spent the day making as many notes as he could about polar bears!

4H have worked together to plan and carry out a fair test – helping them to find out which surface an object would move the furthest on. Different surfaces to test were considered and then voted for, promoting our use of British values. How to make sure we used the same force for every ‘push’ of the object was challenging, but with a little bit of extra advice from me, a sling shot was made to release our chosen object from. Careful measurements; releasing the cube from the top of it; and using the same people for the same role made sure that our test was fair. Well done everyone! Super Scientists in the making!
