Remembrance Walk
Last week Y6 walked to our local memorial at Clifton Park. It was quite emotional looking at all the names of the people who lost their lives to save ours. Many of the children managed to spot a familiar name which was touching for many of them. It helped us understand our topic of WW2

Remembrance
A huge thank you and well done to Y6 who prepared and recorded our Remembrance celebration this year, which they shared with the rest of the school. To mark the date everyone in school held a 2 minute silence on the day and each year group made a wreath which they laid at the bandstand for all to see.

Astronaut training
In PE, Y5 underwent an intensive astronaut training programme to test our fitness. We focused on skills that tested our speed, agility, balance and strength, all of which are very important skills to have as an astronaut!
Interviewing in Y4
Y4 have been using their oracy skills to ask each other thoughtful questions about Robin Hood. They took on various roles such as the interviewer, Robin Hood, Maid Marion and the person filming.
Skeleton animations
Year 3 have been busy in science using the iPads to animate the different parts of a skeleton. We started with the bones and then we identified the main organs and added them to the correct place!
