During our first full week back in school, year 5 have been campaigning for their school council representatives. We learned about democracy and how we keep things fair. The children worked together on their campaigns and made compelling speeches. Well done to all our school councilors who were elected on polling day!

Well done to our new school council members for 24/25! 🎉
Year 3 explored adding 3 addends today.
They showed great independence using different resources and have been working hard at their presentation too.
Year 2 have started their first art project of the year and have been exploring art in nature. After learning about artists who use the landscape and natural materials in their work, the children collected natural objects and then used them to create patterns and pictures.
Year 3 explored Heather Hansen’s gestural art today.
They listened to different pieces of music and thought about how it made them feel. They used charcoal to create art and patterns inspired by her.
Over the last few weeks, Year 4 have been learning all about what makes a great speech. They were then set a task by Mrs. Suffield to help her decide whether she should move her family to Queen’s Hill or the centre of Norwich. Y4 have been working incredibly hard to collate their ideas and come up with a convincing argument for why Queen’s Hill is the best place to live. This afternoon, Y4 gathered in the hall to present their speeches to Mrs. Suffield.
Year 6 got to grips with using a micro:bit this week – a tiny programmable device that enabled children to understand how computers work and learn to code using the language of computers. They familiarised themselves with the device itself and the programming environment before creating their own programs. They then ran their programs on the device. We were impressed by everyone’s curiosity and concentration!
Year 3 had a great afternoon sampling and tasting different jam tarts.
They thought about the packaging, pastry and filling before giving it an overall rating.
Next week, they are going to design and bake their very own!
Year 6 participated in some great workshops in support of their upcoming move to high school. Our visitors were very impressed by their contributions and maturity.
Year 3 had a fantastic time at Whitlingham Adventure.
They tried paddle boarding and canoeing and also completed many different team challenges.
The children showed great grit and determination throughout the day and all were safe, ready and respectful. Well done Year 3!
