Cedar Class Testwood Lakes

Cedar class went on a trip to Testwood Lakes last half term. The children were taking part in activities linked to their English and Science. The story of The Three Little Pigs took the children on a magical journey to investigate different materials to build protective houses for the pigs. We looked at straw, hay, sticks, stones and clay. The children also took part in a 'waste free lunch' competition to see which class had the least amount of rubbish in their lunches. Cedar class had 10g per person which was amazing!

Elm Class Home Learning Projects

Elm Class have been working hard on their home learning projects this half term. They were asked to create their own castle or research real castles.

It was so great to see all the original home learning projects, which have taken a lot of time and effort.

We had: cake castles, pop-up castle books, posters about visits to castles and many more!

Well done Elm Class!

Performance Poetry in 5BW

Over the last week 5BW have been taking part in a Lit Film Fest project, 'Why we play!'. We looked at a variety of poems and poets (including Michael Rosen). We produced our own poems, then we selected the two lines we were most proud of to collaborate with our class mates. Finally we practiced performing our lines in an entertaining way and created a class poem together.

We hope you enjoy it!

Year 1 Willow Trip To Testwood Lakes

Willow class had a super sunny day trip to Testwood Lakes on Monday.  The children were in charge of building houses for the three Little Pigs, using straw, sticks, stone and clay.  The children worked brilliantly together in their teams to build the houses so that the pigs could stay warm and dry and safe from the Big Bad Wolf.  Willow class rose to all the challenges that faced them and were a credit to the school.
