Year 5 Virtual Reality Space Day
Fri 15 Oct 2021Our Year 5 pupils enjoyed their Space Virtual Reality Experience this week. This gave the children the next best thing to an actual trip into space! It was a fantastic way to consolidate the knowledge they have from their science lessons about space this term. It also provided some extra amazing facts for the children to include in the non-chronological report about a planet of their choice that they are working on in English lessons at the moment. They have all been working very hard to complete independent research at home to enable them to do this. The visiting facilitator providing the VR experience commented on what a well-behaved and enthusiastic group of children we have. Well done Year 5 - you have made us very proud yet again!

Year 2 - Penguins
Fri 08 Oct 2021Last week the children in Year 2 wrote some fantastic poems all about penguins! They worked hard to use adjectives, nouns and verbs to create a poem and then wrote a penguin acrostic poem too. Some examples of their poems can be seen below.
In art, the children have had a go at following a set of instructions to sketch penguins. We’ve included some of their fantastic work for you to see!
There work on penguins has also linked nicely to there topic lessons. They have learnt that Antarctica, where many species of penguins can be found, is one of the seven continents. This week they started to find out about Robert Scott who went on an expedition to the South Pole. While in Antarctica, Scott and his expedition team studied penguins.
