We had our first visit of the year to the library. We heard wonderful stories about cats. We enjoyed a lovely story “Six Dinner Sid”. We made some very colourful cat masks. We’re all looking forward to our next visit.
This week, children have been learning about the benefits the main nutrient groups can have on our body.
Children worked in pairs to complete a scavenger hunt around the KS2, racing to locate and facts and information about each nutrient group, which foods it can be found in and the effect it has on our bodies.
Children then returned to class to discuss what they had learned, as well as make recommendations about what foods to buy in different circumstances.
In Y2 we have enjoyed exploring fact families in maths.
In math,s we have been learning about Roman numerals. We had great fun testing our knowledge and trying to remember the different letters for each number.

As part of our ongoing science unit this half term, Year Five have been exploring different states of matter. Additionally, we have been examining what occurs when two or more states of matter mix together and how best to separate them.
So far, we have reviewed how to make mixtures as well as using sieves return them back to their original forms.
The Y6 School council representatives were voted for on Friday. The ballot papers will be counted in the coming week. Results should be announced in next week’s Celebration assembly.
We have been learning about the work of Max Ernst, who used different textures and combined them to make distinctive artwork.
Children then searched for different textures in the room to use in their shading, and then used a mixture of ripping and cutting to create their texture pictures.
