🍂✍️ National Poetry Day Success! ✍️🍂

After being challenged in assembly to write an autumn-themed poem at home, our pupils rose to the occasion with some fantastic entries. We were amazed by the creativity, imagination and effort shown, with many children even beautifully decorating their poems.

Every entrant will receive house points and a prize, while our overall winner was awarded 5 house points and three prizes from the coveted Golden Box! 🌟

A huge well done to all of our talented young poets. We are so proud of you!

This September, Penguins Class has been busy exploring some fascinating scientific concepts and developing their understanding of how our world and beyond works.

The children began by investigating gravity, learning about the invisible force that pulls objects towards the Earth. Through a range of exciting experiments, pupils made predictions, observed results and discovered that gravity affects everything around us. They especially enjoyed testing different objects and discussing why they fell to the ground.

We then turned our attention to planet size as part of our exploration of space. The class compared the planets in our solar system and were amazed to discover the enormous difference in size between rocky planets like Earth and giant planets such as Jupiter. Using models and practical activities, the children developed a better understanding of the vast scale of our solar system.

The children investigated how air can slow objects down as they move through it. Through hands-on experiments, including designing and testing simple parachutes, pupils explored how shape and surface area can affect the speed at which an object falls. It was wonderful to see the children thinking like scientists, asking thoughtful questions and evaluating their findings.

Owls have been investigating abstract sculptures in their art lessons.

As the academic year drew to a close, the whole school enjoyed a very special surprise from the staff.

On the 10th of July, the Owls played their musical recital for a captivated audience.

Shiver me timbers! The children had a fantastic time during our Pirate Day, which linked perfectly with our Commotion in the Ocean topic.
