This afternoon, we carried on with our Haiku activities. Mrs Lowe put all of our haikus from this morning on the front of the lapsafe, then we had to choose somebody else’s haiku to illustrate. We tried to match our illustrations to the description in the haiku. We are going to turn them into a…

Today was our Haiku challenge day. We started by going to sit with someone we don’t normally work with. We had to choose a picture, but all the pictures we face down! We made word whirls and then created haikus. We wrote our haiku on a post it note then returned the picture to the front of the…

Today, Year 4 learnt to do a country dance . This involved circling left and right, star turns, 'dosey doe' and a promenade walk around the room. It was great to see everyone having fun and working together to complete their sequence of moves in time with the music. Well done, Year 4!

Year 6 were really impressive this afternoon as the delivered their Celebration of the Word.  They wrote and based their liturgy on the Seven Sacraments - describing them for the rest of the school.

Thank you to the parents that attended for your support.

This half term, Year 4 are enjoying the book 'The Firework Maker's Daughter' by Philip Pullman. Today, we read the chapter where Lila struggles to climb the mountain to visit Razvani, the fire fiend. The children created their own freeze frame to show what happened to Lila during the journey. Ask…

This morning we found something disgusting in our classroom. Somebody left a big bowl of frogspawn. Inside of it were lots of clues as to what our class story will be. There was a hare, a cat, a donkey and an animal we've never seen before. We still don't know what our new book will be but we hope…
