Class 1  This week the children enjoyed cooking bread in the forest. It was a delicious treat! The children in Reception spent lots of time and effort creating observational drawings of various flowers. They felt like ‘real artists’, using pastels. Their artwork is going to be displayed for all to see as they are very proud of it.

Class 2 This week the year twos have demonstrated maturity and enthusiasm for the reading and maths SATs, we are incredibly proud of their perseverance! During Mastering Number the year ones have investigated odd and even combinations as well as splitting 1 digit number into two parts. The class impressed us with their individual food chain building in Science. Class two are showing a developing knowledge of the weather and seasons and we will continue to monitor local weather patterns using their weather diaries in school.

Class 3 have had a wonderful week. It started with a trip to a Viking settlement; where we learned lots of gruesome ways the Vikings battled, heard some wonderful stories and got to handle some Viking artefacts. Our favourite was the ear spoon! The Vikings really took pride in their appearance. We have also finished some wonderful hero stories. We are very proud of these and the amount of imagination and skill that has gone into this piece of writing. Many of us have enjoyed the Keswick Duathlon on Thursday and took part with enthusiasm!

Class 4  This week in Class 4 we have enjoyed researching African instruments, thinking about sound and pitch, the materials they are made from and sketching diagrams. In PE we have been practising athletic skills, in preparation of going to WHS to take part in a tournament. We have been working hard on our story writing, linked to our class text, adding dialogue to advance the action. Some children enjoyed taking part in the Keswick event and rounders.
