To finish their work on shapes, Year 2 have been sorting 3D shapes into categories based on the properties they have been learning about. There was lots of great mathematical thinking about faces, edges and vertices!

Y5 DT and Music
We have had such an amazing first term in Year 5! We have been busy designing, making and evaluating our cam toys, learning how to play jingle bells in music, exploring forces and writing fantastic missing chapters for our class text: Viking Boy. We are now experts on all things Viking and fractions are now our friends!
The Year 5 team wishes everyone a very happy and restful winter break.
Year 3 Bauble Project
Year 3 enjoyed creating their baubles this afternoon as part of the school council project.
They showed great concentration and creativity skills.
Y1 – Patterns
In Year 1 we have been learning about repeating patterns. We started with shape patterns and then moved onto making patterns with a range of materials. The children enjoyed moving around the classroom and experimenting with different patterns.
Year 4 Roman Catapults
This week all three year four classes have been putting their design and technology skills through their paces building Roman catapult models. The children have been closely supervised measuring, sawing and gluing the different parts together in our final activity from what has been an extremely engaging history topic. There has also been opportunities to test out the firing capabilities of their long range-range weaponry using rubber missiles and plastic soldiers. Mr. Cross was pleased to hear there was no bloodshed!
Year 6 Time & Tide Museum Trip
This week, Year 6 came dressed in WWII themed outfits for their trip to the Time and Tide museum in Great Yarmouth. Their outfits were excellent! They travelled back in time to 1941 when Great Yarmouth was in the thick of the action as a ‘front line town’. They Discovered how the war affected people on the home front and met an ARP warden, a housewife, a shopkeeper and a Home Guard soldier. We were so impressed by their curiosity!
Year 3 Cathedral Trip
Year 3 enjoyed a trip to Norwich Cathedral today.
We were so proud of how ready, safe and respectful they were.
They learnt all about what advent is and journeyed through the nativity.
Reception Science
In Reception we have been looking at floating and sinking. The children learnt about what it means for objects to float or sink, made predictions and then did an experiment using the water trays to see which objects floated or sank.
Remembrance
In Reception we have been learning about what Remembrance day is and about the poppies that represent it. We made some art inspired by poppies and the children chose to create poppy pictures and sculptures during their busy learning time.
Y5 Maths Investigations
This week, year 5 have taken part in not one but two maths investigations. On Monday we joined the school maths investigation day and worked using trial and error to find a solution to a problem involving money. On Tuesday, Squirrels were joined by visitors from Isaac Newton who guided them through another investigation.
