We use the forest area to write the names of fruits in French. Why not test yourself? Can you match the correct name to the fruit below?

Here we are working with the 'Prayer Space' team again. The children seemed to enjoy reflecting on their thoughts in all of the different activities.

Here we are celebrating Newcastle United's brilliant win at the weekend.

There was a colourful array of costumes and P.J's for World Book Day in class today.

This week, the children listened to the team from Kidslingo presenting a 'French' assembly. We sang songs and played some games in French. There will be a French club after half term for all interested. See the flyer your child brought home on Wednesday.

Many thanks again to the 'prayer space' team, who have been in this week. The children have very much enjoyed some activities based on thinking about reflecting on their senses.

We are currently doing a film making unit in computing. Here we are using a storyboard to try framing the shot in different ways (close up, long shot and long shot to close up.) We used different techniques too, like having fixed cameras or zooming. Afterwards we evaluated which 'shots' were most successful.

Our non-uniform day was well supported. Many thanks to all who sent a 'bottle' for the Christmas fair next week.

Jas has come in to school this week to tell the children about what it means to him to be a Sikh.

The 'Prayer Space' team have been in again giving the children a chance to reflect through some festive activities.

Thanks to all who supported us on our 'Children in Need' day.

Have a look at our 'Inter Faith Week' activities. Brother Kadim, Mr Glickman and Mr Innerdale came in to tell us about their faith. We also did some work on Hindu Gods too.

In our history lessons, we've been looking at the accuracy of sources of evidence by investigating two photos of Vikings. We didn't find them very reliable!

Here are our 'artistic' versions of planets in our solar systems made using natural materials in the forest. Can you guess the planet?

Year 4 and 5 had a very enjoyable trip to The Centre for Life this week. They were very enthusiastic exploring the 'Space', 'Wow' and 'Creativity zones. We watched a space feature in the 'Planetarium' and time travelled through space for a spectacular 'flaming' show. We also went up in to the 'labs' to carry out several experiments including: replacing solar panels in space with robotic arms; testing which kinds of strawberries would be best to send to space (fresh, freeze dried or dehydrated); deciding on which material would be best in space to keep astronauts warm; and testing MAGs to see how much they can hold when astronauts go to the toilet! The children represented the school brilliantly. Well done everyone!

Here we are, busily making our own timelines of the Viking era and putting our measuring skills to the test.

We've had the 'Prayer Space' group in leading activities for us this week. Have a look at how we got on.

We had 'That History Bloke' in school this week telling us all about the Vikings. We enjoyed playing Viking games and handling replica objects.

We have chosen to have a 'class flag' based on lions, because lions are fearless, persistent and sociable, to name but a few of their characteristics.

In English, we are busy researching information about the fictional moon 'Pandora' to help us write a persuasive text about it.
