Throughout this theme of ‘Come Fly With Me: Arctic’ we have been looking at the different animals and how they survive in a harsh environment. We discovered that many Arctic animals have blubber to keep them warm. We decided that we wanted to see what difference blubber makes to an animal. We became scientists and we placed our hands in icy water. We then placed our hands in blubber (zip pocket with butter in) and put them back in the water. We concluded that the blubber stops the animal feeling cold. It was great fun!
In Science this week, we have been learning all about ‘The Digestive System’.
School council and some of their friends attended the Armistice Day memorial service at the cenotaph in Monkton Village. They then laid a wreath on behalf of our school. They were absolutely amazing and a credit to our school .
Oxford Owl have produced a website, aimed at parents and carers to help with learning at home with their child’s reading, writing and maths and the great thing about it is that it is split up into different age groups. There are lots of top tips and useful information on there that is easy to access and what’s more it’s free.

Year 2 have been learning about the famous scientist Thomas Edison, who invented the lightbulb.
They used their investigation and problem solving skills to complete a circuit and power a light bulb.
The determination paid off and lit up their smiles too!
Today in PE Year 4 have been working on their Gymnastic skills. We learned to hold and control a balance whilst creating a bridge with our bodies. We then looked at making our bridges have two levels, whilst at the same time trying to be symmetrical. We did a fantastic job! Move over Beth Tweddle, here come Year 4!
