Being a Good Friend

Year 2 looked at what being a good friend was today. We discussed and acted out different scenarios and thought about whether they were friendly or unfriendly.

Year 4 Christingles

Year 4 discussed different Christian Christmas symbols and their meanings to Christians.The children then made their own Christingles. 

Year 3 at the Panto

Year 3 enjoyed their theatre experience today. They laughed, cheered and booed throughout the Cinderella pantomime. We will compare the story of Cinderella with another narrative in the new year. 

Christmas Cards

Today in Year 6 we have been creating our own Christmas cards in our French lesson using watercolour paints. We experimented with colour and line. 

Year 5 Number Snakes

Year 5 have been testing in the last few weeks, but this hasn’t stopped us from being creative! We have been working with the text ‘The Storm Unicorn’ and have represented our own unicorns for non-chronological reports using water colours. In maths lessons, some of us have created number snakes – like those in the images – to represent adjacent numbers producing square numbers.

Mysterious Footprints in Reception

This morning the Reception classrooms had some mysterious footprints. They led to a letter from Santa asking the children to send him their Christmas lists. This week the children are applying their phonics knowledge to write these letters. They have been working on folding the paper into the envelope and used scissor skills to cut out and stick on a stamp. Hopefully they will get to the North Pole in time!

Voting in Reception

Today Les Papillions Rouges talked about the election. We decided to vote for what we watched at snack time. The children used a piece of Duplo to choose what they wanted to watch. 

Year 3 get voting!

Year 3 have been learning about the 2019 General Election. They received their polling card, read the manifestos for the four main candidates, wrote their own manifestos, shared their manifestos and posted their vote into the ballot box.

Year 6 Learn about the general election

In Year 6 today we have been learning about the 2019 General Election. We spent some time looking at the manifestos of different parties and then have applied our measuring skills to build our own rosettes to wear when we visit our own polling station here at school on Thursday. We had to measure out the size of the ribbons for our rosettes and also used a compass to accurately draw a circle to match a given criteria (a certain diameter). 

Year 2 Learn about Constellations

During this lesson, we learned about constellations. Then, we recreated one of the well-known constellations with spaghetti and marshmallows. Afterwards, we drew constellations onto black paper using chalk.
