As part of our PE this half term we have been looking at different ways our bodies move during dance. We have imagined ourselves as explorers and we have travelled through different terrains. This week we were imagining we were pirates seeking treasure however, when we found the treasure it was too big to move. Using dance we had to create a movement that would help us transport our treasure. We had so much fun as you can see!

This week we have been learning about ‘States of Matter’. The children explored how the molecules of solids, liquids and gases move.
Wow, what a week! We were lucky enough to have a special visitor this week in the form of a real-life ‘geologist’. The children thoroughly enjoyed explored ‘real’ fossils and learnt a lot about how to become ‘fossil hunters’ themselves. A fantastic afternoon had by all.
This week in Science, we have been looking at soil. We discussed what soil is made from and we investigated 3 different types, sandy soil, chalk soil and clay soil. During our investigation, we observed and discussed the differences in appearance, texture and smell.
Today in LMTW 1 Red looked at lots of breads from around the world. After lots of discussion and research we found out where each bread originated from and talked about whether we had tasted any of the different types. We then used our five senses to explore the bread, but our favourite sense used was the sense of taste. Most of the children enjoyed the bread tasting activity and were able to use associated vocabulary to describe what each one was like.
Yesterday Reception showed the adults how our Sounds Write skills are developing. We showed them a couple of our phonics lessons, wrote a sentence and read some of our every day words. Then we showed them how we read our books and talk about the story. After that we showed them Drawing Club and how it helps us with our oracy, drawing skills, imagination, maths and writing, also how we learn amazing new vocabulary. It was a fabulous morning and the adults were blown away at how much Reception have progressed!
Year 2 were invited to take part in a poetry writing competition with Young Writers. This competition was open to many schools across the country and some of our amazing writers were chosen to have their work published. We are so proud our our amazing authors!
