In Jigsaw, we have been learning about how to deal with difficult situations. Whilst it is always wonderful to achieve our dreams, it is not always possible. We learned that it is important to be resilient and show a positive attitude when facing disappointment. As part of the challenge we entered the ‘Funniest Potato Competition’, working as part of a team, designing and creating our funny potato.
Here’s what we achieved!
This morning, Year 4 took to the stage to show off all that they have learned about rocks and fossils during their ‘Rocky the Findasaur’ theme. They learned about different types of rocks and soils and how they make up the layers of the Earth. They also learned about the pioneer, Mary Anning and her incredible discovery of the ichthyosaur fossil. She led the way not just for paleontologists but for the recognition of women as scientists too.

Well done Year 4 you did a fantastic job!

7 Red explored and investigated colour mixing by adding white. Creating fantastic sea and sky pictures – How many different shades of blue can you see?
Councillor David Francis joined us as a special guest in our assembly. He is a local councillor who is a member of the Green Party. He talked to us about what inspired him to want to make a difference in his local community and then presented the Eco Warriers with the Eco -Schools Award flag and certificate.
We look forward to welcoming him back to school so that he can find out more about our Conservation themes.
4 Red have been enjoying learning their numbers in French this term through a variety of games. Playing games allows the children to develop their speaking and listening skills in a fun way. Year 4 have been revising their numbers to 21 playing the traditional “goose game” jeu de l’oie as well as the well known game ‘connect 4’.

[Year 4 have been busy problem solving in Maths this week. They needed to use their multiplication knowledge to help them arrange four numbers (1, 2, 3 and 21) on a grid to make a diagonal, vertical or horizontal line. They could only put a number card on a square with a multiple of that number or factor of that number. The children really enjoyed solving this problem, finding as many different ways as they could. Well done Year 4!
7 Red explored lots of different activities during mental health week. Including talking about feelings, working together, helping each other and learning from mistakes.
‘How you feel inside your brain’ – a great way to describe Mental Health!
Unity In The Community is a lovely theme which teaches us all about our surrounding areas and to look at them in different ways. We have been looking at not taking our lovely area for granted and to think about it with positivity. We had a look at some very boring signs that we often see in the area around us and we decided to allocate each sign a sound. After a while we realised that we had become composers and had created a musical story. We then used 2Simple to generate our story and listened to our creations. Look out Top Of The Pops!
This week in our ‘Unity In The Community’ theme, we have been looking at the importance of crossing the road safely. We looked at the Green Cross Code and worked with our partners to design our own posters and discuss what is right and wrong about certain scenarios that we have witnessed both in the community and on the class videos.
