  On Thursday morning, Year 2 enjoyed making their hand puppets.

• Year 3 Magnets and Forces Science Topic

  Fri 05 Jan 2024

  This week, we have launched our new science topic 'Magnets and Forces' by making games which work using magnets.  The children had lots of fun creating their own fishing games or designing maze games with magnetic pieces.  We also had a rather interesting football game with prehistoric animals as players!  It proved a wonderful opportunity to develop our collaboration and cooperation skills, testing out ideas and refining our work to improve it.  We are looking forward to completing them and playing them next week.

  

• Forest School with Year 3 this week

  Fri 05 Jan 2024

  Year 3 are having a fantastic time at Forest School.  This week they explored the nature areas, worked together to build dens, mud painted, and had the opportunity to hammer nails into wood, and use the saws and drills.  Then they shared their best bits around the fire circle with a mug of hot chocolate!  

   

  Please remember on forest school days that a large bag to put muddy, wet items into is advisable, as is a change of footwear and dry socks so that your child has something comfortable to put on if they get a little soggy!  Water proofs and/or a change of trousers are also essential.
