Science Week 8th March 2021

On Monday 8th March we will be marking British Science Week as a school. The children will be returning to school this week and will be working as a class to create a Science project. The theme this year is 'Innovation' and our task is to create or design a new machine that will make our lives easier in the classroom or as a wider school. Try and make it an idea which can and use easy/ recyclable materials and resources you think we may have in school.  We will have  a whole class brainstorm together when we return to school but for now, I would love for you to get involved remotely at home. All I want you to do is to post some of your ideas for our class machine onto the blog- what do you think it could be? I DO NOT WANT ANYONE TO MAKE A MACHINE- we will be doing that as a whole class in the Summer Term when we are all together. All you need to do is post some of your ideas for our machine to the blog- I will be giving 10 house points for every idea I receive from you. Remember our machine has to have the purpose of making our lives easier in the classroom or as a school community. 

Daily Mile- Get Moving!

This is your daily reminder to have a break from your work and to keep healthy and active! You need your exercise so make sure you now run around your garden for 15 minutes or go on a 30 minute walk

World Book Day-4th March 2021

As it is World Book Day on Thursday, Miss Elliot has decided to link it to her final Art Lesson for this week. As it is the last week of her Art lessons, she wants to make it  fun and creative and she has therefore very kindly designed a poster advertising it to allow time for you  to gather the resources that you will need. The lesson will be on Friday afternoon and as we are giving you a bit of time to gather the resources we are hoping lots of you will take part in creating your favourite character collage! It links to World Book Day too which I know lots of you have been enjoying! Remember to just gather your resources for now and the live lesson will be on the class page on Friday.
