I am having a lovely evening looking through the fantastic work produced by the children whilst learning about black history. I was, once again, blown away by the maturity of their conversation about difficult subjects. I am going home for the weekend as a proud teacher! Please ask them more about their learning!
Pine have worked super hard this week. They have sculpted and moulder their clay mugs with ease. We are looking forward to painting and printing our designs in the next few weeks.
The adults in Beech Class have been very busy getting ready for you all to start. We are looking forward to meeting you all.
What a great start to our PE challenge this week. 40 children from across the school took part in the sports partnership virtual challenge. How long can you wall sit for? Many of you managed around the 7 minute mark which requires strong leg muscles! Well done all of you who took part: Olivia P, Millie D, Joseph D, Maisie H, Aoife D, Ella-Rose K, Louie J, Ruby G, Freddie G, Drew B, Jack S, Cody B, Kirstie, Mia T, Diyan P, Harry H, George A, Lexi H, Alex A, Isla H, Henry W, Toby, Freddie W, Callie L, Tamara L, Bradley H, Ryan E, Tia J, Rosie, Jemima H, Tom F, Fletcher T, Sienna B, Marni C, Isis C, Kyle B, Logan G, Ruby P, Layth J and Andy C.
Well done to Cody B for coming second out of the 96 entries across the sports partnership with a time of 17 mins 23secs. 
We had fun today making a rainbow! If you happen to go past, see if you can spot it. 
We have been discussing our online identity, and how we can use our identities online in a kind and safe way.
We went outside and were guided around by a partner. We had our eyes closed.
It was a strange experience. We had to trust our partner.
We had fun learning the stippling technique using stencils. Many Street Artists use stencils. Have you seen any?
Yesterday Ash Class discovered a range of Dinosaurs that had been frozen in ice. We discussed how ice is formed and together came up with a plan to free the dinosaurs. The children came up with ideas of places where we could place the frozen dinosaurs and predicted what one would free the dinosaurs first. The children chose to leave one in the classroom, two were held by each child and one went under warm water. The warm water melted first! Mercedes wanted to smash the ice – we are going to do this next week to see if it’s even quicker! We will let you know!
The children knew that outside would take the longest because it is cold.
Thank you for completing the food diaries, we have used them to sort the food we ate into groups. We then drew the food from our favourite day onto an eat well plate.
