Today year four had a fantastic day trip to West Stow near Bury St Edmunds to visit the Anglo-Saxon Village. They got to explore the artefacts on display in the museum; handled some replica artefacts and were able to look around a reconstructed village of the time. We had to use lots of our historian skills to help us imagine and learn about what life was like for these early settlers in Britain. Our history topic will continue for the rest of the half term as we learn more.
We have been learning about the life cycles of plants. As part of this topic, we have planted a Sunflower seed. We have been looking after them and look forward to taking them home to plant!
Year 3 enjoyed creating their own cave art today. They were able to use continuous lines and pastels to create different effects. They also enjoyed creating and using stencils as part of their work. Have a look at their work in action!
Year 6 have been working hard problem solving in Maths in a range of tasks. We have worked in pairs and small groups and used the ‘Trial and Error’ method to find solutions.
Reception had a wonderful time on our trip to Gressenhall. We met Fairy tale characters, such as Cinderella and Jack. We helped them find their magical objects the Wicked Witch had stolen. We particularly enjoyed the tractor ride on the farm, helping the Ugly-Stepsister with her chores and sliding down the beanstalk slides.
Year 6 had a great time at Go Ape for their very well-deserved end of SATs treat! The children were so excited and were fearless going up on the high ropes course and zip wires! We were so proud of how they represented the school too.
This week, year 5 have been busy dreaming big! Over the past few weeks, we have been learning about architecture and dream homes. We have been exploring architectural features and design in homes both large and small. We have been working in teams to create our own dream homes using ideas from our sketch books.
Year 3 have explored Vincent Van Gogh, Alice Kettle and Hannah Rae in art. They thought about different shades and brush strokes, as well as texture. They were able to add stitches to their artist inspired work today and we’re all proud of their finished products!
This half term Year 2 have been learning about the Titanic. To learn more about life on board, they used picture sources to find evidence about the different things people could do and the differences between 1st class and 3rd class.
This week, Year 5 explored flood defences as part of their Geography and English project about rivers. Thank you to Mr Marsh and Dr Richardson for taking time out of their day to share the important work they do – we asked lots of questions and even got to stop the flood!
