Have you seen Snowdrop?

This morning we came into class and hunted high and low for Snowdrop. Did she over sleep or has she been too busy with Father Christmas' errands?

We are getting so worried, where could she be? Did we do something wrong or did we upset her?

If you do see her please…

In Year 3 we have been learning about the works of Mary Anning; a famous palaeontologist from the 19^th Century. We have been looking at the fossils she discovered in the Dorset coast and have attempted to rebuild them using Playdough!

The children in Reception and KS1 are preparing the Nativity Play.

Everyone is trying hard to remember their lines and where they stand on the stage!

Well done Fran! 

Fran is the first person in Year 4 to complete the Round the World Reading Challenge.

Well done Fran. He is now a first class passenger and reader! 

Come on Year 4. I know you can all do it!

Today in Year 3 we have been making animations on Purple Mash. We have been making animations of how different rock types are formed, using what we have learnt in Science. We have been animating the process of how igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks are formed.

Year 4 have started learning about the Christingle and what a Christingle represents.

The Children's Society have donated some of the items needed to make our own Christingles. All the children took home a Christingle collection candle as we decided we would like to raise a little bit of money…

Last week Year 5 finished their Stone Age jewellery.  They were all very patient waiting for the clay to dry.  They look really effective.

Today we recieved a very urgent parcel all the way from the North Pole. Inside was an elf sent from Santa. Her job is to report back to Santa all the exciting things that she sees in class. Santa can also keep his eye on us through his 'web cam'.

Our little elf did not have a name when she…

The focus for Yr4 P.E. with Mrs Smith this half term is Dance.

Yr4  created a dance using the Mission Impossible theme music as a stimulus.

I was invited to watch the finished dance.

The children certainly impressed me with the quality of movement and the way they worked…

This half term we have been learning about the people who help us at home, at school and in our community. We have been learning the names and jobs of people in the school who help us every day and have toured the school in groups to get to know the staff and children in the juniors. 

We have…

On Thursday 24th November Silver Birch Class built a series of electrical circuits and had to identify each element:

cells, wires, bulbs, switches and buzzers.

Look at our pictures to see what we created. 

Well done to Noah who was our top circuit builder.
