This week, Year 1 have been looking at the life stages of a human. We learnt that we start as a baby, turn into a toddler, next we become a child, then grow to be a teenager, next we become an adult and finally we become the elderly. Year 1 did at great job at working co-operatively to show these life stages on their timelines!

Y5 are continuing their learning about materials. We have been separating different mixtures of materials using a range of processes; including sieving, magnetism and decanting.

Last week, Year 1 we're using crocodiles to understand our 'greater than' and 'less than' stem sentences. We really enjoyed using the crocodiles and now understand that they are very greedy and always want to eat the greater number!

This week, the Reception class have been reading 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff'. We decided to have a go at building bridges of our own and looked at lots of different examples of bridges to help us. The children used a range of equipment and then thought about how they could test the bridges to see how strong they were. These investigations will carry on into next week.

Year 3 have been learning about the Stone Age. We have looked at cave paintings and used charcoal and pastels to recreate our own Stone Age art!

This week, the Reception class have continued to explore the story 'We're going on a bear hunt'. We tried to experience all of the things that the family did on their bear hunt. The children looked closely at the swishy swashy grass, they talked about what water felt like and they made some squelchy squerchy mud! We visited the little forest school area and acted out the whole story.
