Year 4 Maths LBQ
Today we had a visit from Mr Bloomfield who taught us various ways to multiply and divide by 9 using LBQ. The children loved learning the most common tricks of how to understand and find the next multiple of 9.
Year 1 Science: using our sense of touch
Continuing on with our Science, we focused on our sense of touch. We understood that when we touch something or feel something on our skin, it sends a message to our brain. Sometimes this always keeps us safe from touching dangerous objects. We used our fingertips to feel different objects and describe them. Some of the words we used to describe the objects were rough, smooth, warm, cold, hard and soft. Year 1 are really enjoying learning about the human body and their scientific work is really impressive.
DPSSA Football League
Some super game play this evening down at the DPSSA Football League at Witton. Our first game was against Ashleigh when we unfortunately lost 7-0 . Our second game was against Holy Trinity and through pure grit and determination we can away with a draw.
Singing at Acer Lodge Care Home
We are so proud of the 8 children, who were selected based on their effort in Monday's singing worship, who sang at Acer Lodge Care Home on Wednesday. They brought lots of festive cheer to the residents and it was wonderful to see them joining in with the bells we gave out. The children were over the moon to get a surprise visit from Santa himself, who thanked the children by giving them each a selection box. Rosie gave some letters written by herself and her Year 4 class to the residents to introduce themselves and tell them about themselves. We hope the residents enjoyed reading them.

Year 2 - Christmas Puppets
Year 2 have been decorating our Christmas Puppets this week.
Year 4 - Class Worship: Togetherness
In our class worship time this week we learned about the Princess of Wales’ annual carol service and the work she does to bring people from different walks of life together. We spent some time considering groups that we belong to and we used our oracy skills to share our thoughts on feeling a sense of belonging. There were some excellent points about sharing interests and feeling loved, and also about recognising when we feel ostracised or unsafe in a group, such as an online community.
Online Safety: Electrical Safety and Devices
The festive season has arrived, and with more lights, decorations and gifts, it’s important to stay safe when plugging in extra electricals. This guide provides key information on electrical safety.
Year 3- Class Worship-The Importance of Togetherness
Today in our class worship, we discussed the importance of togetherness and the Princess of Wales's Carol Service, which aims to bring people together to celebrate kindness and community. We learned that togetherness means noticing others, caring, listening, and showing kindness. This helps create a sense of belonging for everyone. Charlie read the prayer out.
