1A were sad to hear that England players Saka, Sancho and Rashford had been sent nasty messages on social media. They wanted to send them positive messages to show their support.

We have begun our topic by transforming our classrooms. We have enjoyed turning ourselves into astronauts, making rockets and space bears linked to our story 'Whatever Next'.

We have really enjoyed designing and building our own model rockets in DT lessons. We are looking forward to using them in Music lessons and taking them home to show off!

We are exploring space poems this week in English lessons. We have enjoyed performing in front of the class.

We have had a great time celebrating Number Day! We have: read number poems; played games - Snakes & Ladders and Four in a Row; completed a number word search, and seen how many numbers we can write in a given time. Well done to everyone who dressed up and brought in a carrot or a potato to measure. We had fun weighing the potatoes and measuring the carrots.

In English we have been researching the different planets in our solar system. In Art we have made some stained glass windows of Earth.

We have just started a new unit on fractions in Maths and already these children are smashing it! They have been using their understanding of making equal groups to find a quarter of amounts. We even have a Headteacher's Award on our first day! Well done :-)

In English lessons this week we have been reading 'The Dinosaur that Pooped a Planet'. We have been looking carefully at parts of the story to find rhyming pairs, synonyms (words that mean the same thing), and answers to simple questions. On Friday we read an extract called 'Ant the Astronaut's Trip to Space'. We looked for key words that helped to paint a picture in our mind (adjectives). We then drew a picture of what we imagined. Look at all our beautiful art work :-)

We have really enjoyed designing and making healthy fruit (and vegetable) rockets as part of our DT lessons.

Radio 2 wants children aged 6 to 12 to design a bright, buzzy garden that will attract bees and other pollinating insects. The winner’s design will be built by the RHS at an NHS Trust site which is used by children and young people with mental health needs. More information can be found on the BBC website:- https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/2qk4dDdJJdsVFmcLhZ7RwmW/how-to-enter We have designed our bee gardens by going on a nature walk around school and selecting some flowers that the bees may like.

This week we have been conducting various science experiments. We have made a storm in a cup, a lava lamp and erupting volcanoes by mixing diet coke with mentos. We have had lots of scientific fun! Well done to all those children who made amazing volcanoes at home and brought them in for the competition.

We have been learning about a famous artist called Vincent Van Gogh. We have had a go at painting our own water colour sunflowers in his style. Ask your child if they can remember any interesting facts about Vincent.
