In Science this week, we explored what erosion is. We carried out an experiment to see the effects of erosion using soil, sand and water. We also discussed how and why Marsden Rock has changed over time.
On Monday, in RE 4 Red looked at how Christians believe that Jesus is the light of the world. We learned that this metaphor is used because Jesus lights a path for Christians, it is also a symbol of hope and warmth.
As part of this, Year 4 developed their previous skills of making stained glass windows, this time adding symbols of light. Take a Look.
Another great week of lunchtime maths problem-solving had our children thinking carefully whilst they were in the queue for dinner this week. Well done to Mya and George whose excellent reasoning and correct answers were drawn out of the boxes. Great work guys and well done to everyone who took part.
Wow, wow, wow! Reception were absolute superstars in the Christmas Nativity show, they have worked their socks off learning lots of songs and lines and are all truly magnificent stars in the making. We definitely have some budding actors and musicians amongst them and the Early Years team are bursting with pride.

From January 2024, we will be starting our OPAL journey 🙂
The link below gives you a little isight into that this might look like.
A letter is also coming home this week, asking for your support in collecting some of the loose parts we will need.
We are all very excited and know our OPAL journey will transform the children’s opportunities at lunchtime.
Please keep an eye on dojo and the website for more details.
Designing and making ‘Inukshuks’ from clay.
7 Red tried to make cuboids using clay to help make their Inukshuks.
Did you know that Inukshuks help the Inuits find their way home?
Do you know what else they are used for?
For the first time this year we have had a cheerleading club. Children have been learning skills such as strengthening, conditioning, teamwork, and musicality. Cheerleading is always so much fun and a great way to motivate the children to move around through dance. As you can see from the photos below we have been practicing a team routine/chants along with learning new skills. The children have worked hard this term and have gained so much more confidence which enables them to be the best they can be.
