Hello everyone! I hope you have all had a great break and are ready to return to school all refreshed and willing to learn.

We have a super term for you to look forward to with an exciting Egyptian topic and learning all about Electricity and Sound in our Science lessons.

We will be using lockers again this term but it would be helpful if you could only bring essential items into school – coat, bag, lunch and water bottles. There is no need to bring your own pencil case.

PE days will be Monday and Thursday. You will still need to wear your kit to school.

Looking forward to seeing you next week.

Base 8 have had a super week learning all about Bees.

We have researched and designed bee friendly gardens and made bee hotels and watering stations.

This morning, Year 4 have had their very own Easter egg hunt. However, instead of looking for chocolate eggs they searched the playground for colourful eggs that contained a range of spelling, punctuation and grammar questions. They all had a great time while recapping some of the Year 4 SPAG objectives. Well done Year 4!

As part of our Art and Computing Lessons, Base 8 have been learning about photography. In Art we have studied the work of Antony Gormley, a British sculptor, who is most famous for the Angel of the North.

We looked at several of his famous sculptures then went outside and recaptured some of the poses using photographs. Next, we are going to create sketches based on the photos. I can’t wait to see the outcome!

Due to cover in school, Year 4 will be doing their PE lesson on Tuesday next week (16th March). This change will be for one week only.

Please remember that children should be wearing their PE kit to school on PE days. We will be going outside so they need to be suitably dressed for colder days.

PE kits will also need to worn on Friday (19th March) for our Comic Relief sports event.

Thank you and sorry for having to make the change.

Mrs Beardwood and Mr Taylor
